Answer:

  • +1.8W
  • 2,160J

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve for the power absorbed by the bulb.

Formula [ p = vi ]

p = 12 * 150 * 10^-3

p = +1.8W

Second, we can solve for the power aborbed in a interval of 20 minutes.

Formula [ e = vit ]

e = 12 * 150 * 10^-3 * 20 * 60

e = 2,160J

Just a note that "20 * 60" represents the time given in seconds.

Best of Luck!
