Problem

An incandescent lamp is marked "60 W,  240 V60\,\text{W},\;240\,\text{V}". a. (i) Find the resistance of the filament when the lamp is glowing at its rated conditions. b. (ii) Determine the current drawn by the lamp from a 240 V240\,\text{V} supply. c. (iii) The lamp is accidentally connected to a 120 V120\,\text{V} supply while its resistance remains the same as in part (i). Calculate the power it would now dissipate.
