Answer 1

The current through the bulb is 0.5 Ampere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Power = P = 60 watt

Voltage = V = 120 volts

To Find:

Current = I =?

Solution:

Power:

It is the product of Voltage and Current

Unit = watts

Formula

`Power = Voltage* Current`

`P=V* I\\60=120* I\\\therefore I=(60)/(120) \\\therefore I=0.5\ Ampere`
