What is the approximate filament resistance of a light bulb if it operates from a 110 V source and 0.6 A of current is flowing?

A. 183 Ω

B. 18.3 Ω

C. 66 Ω

D. 6.6 Ω

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

This question is about Ohm's Law, which is a fundamental rule in electrical circuits.
Ohm's Law tells us how Voltage (V), Current (I), and Resistance (R) are related.
The formula for Ohm's Law is: V = I * R
Where:
* V is the Voltage (measured in Volts)
* I is the Current (measured in Amperes or Amps)
* R is the Resistance (measured in Ohms)
In our question, we know:
* The Voltage (V) is 110 V
* The Current (I) is 0.6 A
We need to find the Resistance (R).
To find R, we can rearrange the formula: R = V / I
Now, let's plug in the values:
R = 110 V / 0.6 A
R ≈ 183.33 Ω
So, the closest answer from the options is 183 Ω.
That means Option A is correct.

    according to ohms law I = V/R so here given voltage V= 110 v, current I = 0.6 A Therefore R = V/I = 110/0.6= 183.3 ohm

    To find the filament resistance of the light bulb, we can use Ohm's Law, which states:

    [
    R = frac{V}{I}
    ]

    Where:
    - ( R ) is the resistance,
    - ( V ) is the voltage,
    - ( I ) is the current.

    ### Given:
    - ( V = 110 , V )
    - ( I = 0.6 , A )

    ### Step 1: Calculate the resistance:

    [
    R = frac{110 , V}{0.6 , A} = frac{110}{0.6} approx 183.33 , Omega
    ]

    ### Conclusion:
    Thus, the approximate filament resistance of the light bulb is:

    **A. 183 Ω.**
