    Given dа ta:

    Voltage (V) = 120 V,

    Power (P) = 50.4 Watts,

    current flowing (I) = ?

    Power is nothing but the rate of doing work. Hence W/t represents electric Power (P).

    Electric Power (P) = V. I Watts

    This equation can be used to calculate the power consumption by any electrical device that is connected in a circuit.

    In the given question, we need to determine the Current flowing through the circuit (bulb).

    From the equation,

    P = V. I Watts

    50.4 = 120 * I

    I = 50.4/120

    I = 0.42 Amp

    Current flowing through the circuit is 0.42 Amperes.
