Answer:

20.25 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P = I²R.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = current drawn by the test light, R = Resistance of the test light

From the question,

Given: I = 1.5 A, R = 9.00 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (1.5²)(9)

P = 2.25×9

P = 20.25 W
