To calculate the current taken by the bulb, we can use the formula:

Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I)

Given that the voltage of the bulb is 240V and the power rating is 60W, we can rearrange the formula to solve for current:

Current (I) = Power (W) / Voltage (V)
Current (I) = 60W / 240V
Current (I) = 0.25 A

Therefore, the electric bulb takes 0.25 amps of current.
