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.
An electric bulb is labelled 240V, 60W. How much current is taken by the bulb
