Answer:
R = 240 Ω
Explanation:
The resistance created by the light bulb can be calculated by using Ohm's Law:
[tex]V = IR\\\\R =\frac{V}{I}[/tex]
where,
R = Resistance created by the light bulb = ?
V = Voltage across the bulb = 120 volts
I = current passing through the light bulb = 0.5 A
Therefore,
[tex]R = \frac{120\ volts}{0.5\ A}[/tex]
R = 240 Ω
