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]

Respuesta :

Given:

The resistance of the lamp is,

[tex]R=60\text{ ohm}[/tex]

The voltage in the household circuit is,

[tex]V=110\text{ V}[/tex]

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,

[tex]i=\frac{V}{R}[/tex]

So, the current is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} i=\frac{110}{60} \\ =1.83\text{ A} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the current through the lamp is 1.83 A.
