To determine which bulb draws more current when a 150W and a 600W bulb are connected in parallel to the mains, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, voltage, and current. The power (P) consumed by an electrical device can be expressed using the formula: \[ P = V \times I \] where \( P \) is the power in watts, \( V \) is the voltage in volts, and \( I \) is the current in amperes. ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to find current. ...
