Three identical 60.0-W, 120-V lightbulbs are connected across a 120-V power source, as shown in Figure P28.72. Find (a) the total power delivered to the three bulbs and (b) the voltage across each. Assume that the resistance of each bulb is constant (even though in reality the resistance might increase markedly with current).

A light bulb is connected to a source of emf.There is a 6.00V drop across the light bulb, and a corner of 4.1 A flowing through the light bulb. What is the resistance of the light bulb? A second light bulb, identical to the first, is connected in series with the first bulb. The potential drop across the bulbs is now 6.07 V, and the current through the bulbs is 2.9 A. Calculate the resistance of the light bulbs.

Figure P32.4 shows three lightbulbs connected to a 120-V AC (rms) household supply voltage. Bulbs 1 and 2 have a power rating of 150 W, and bulb 3 has a 100 W rating. Find (a) the rms current in each bulb and (b) the resistance of each bulb. (c) What is the total resistance of the combination of the three lightbulbs?
