Given :

Current flow light bulb = 2.5
\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

To Find :

We have to find voltage of battery
.

Solution :

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

V = I × R

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

V = 9 volt
