The correct Answer is:
To find the resistance of the electric bulb, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that: \[ V = I \times R \] Where: - \( V \) is the voltage (in volts), - \( I \) is the current (in amperes), - \( R \) is the resistance (in ohms). ### Step 1: Identify the given values From the question, we have: - Voltage (\( V \)) = 6 V - Current (\( I \)) = 1.2 A ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for resistance We need to find \( R \), so we can rearrange the formula: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Now we can substitute the known values into the rearranged formula: \[ R = \frac{6 \, \text{V}}{1.2 \, \text{A}} \] ### Step 4: Perform the calculation Now, we calculate the resistance: \[ R = \frac{6}{1.2} = 5 \, \text{ohms} \] ### Conclusion The resistance of the electric bulb is \( 5 \, \text{ohms} \). ---
