    The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

    Explanation:

    In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

    Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

    The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

    Resistance (R) = V / I

    = 120/0.5

    = 240Ω (ohms)

    Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).
