Question

A lamp with a resistance of 60 Ohms is plugged into a 110-Volt household circuit. How much current flows through the lamp?Group of answer choices0.55 [A]1.83 [A]170 [A]6,600 [A]

Answer 1

Given:

The resistance of the lamp is,

$R=60\text{ ohm}$

The voltage in the household circuit is,

$V=110\text{ V}$

To find:

The current through the lamp

Explanation:

Ohm's law gives the relation between the current, voltage, and resistance of the circuit.

The current is,

$i=\frac{V}{R}$

So, the current is,

$\begin{gathered} i=\frac{110}{60} \\ =1.83\text{ A} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the current through the lamp is 1.83 A.
