A household light globe with a power rating of 60 W operates at a potential difference of 240 V and has a resistance of 960 . Using this information and Ohm’s law, the current (I) may be calculated to be


  1. I = V ÷ R = 240 ÷ 960 = 0.25 A
  2. I = R ÷ V = 960 ÷ 240 = 4 A
  3. I = P ÷ V = 60 ÷ 240 = 0.25 A
  4. I = V ÷ P = 240 ÷ 60 = 4 A
