Question
A car headlight bulb working on a 12 V car battery draws a current of 0.5 A. The resistance of the light bulb is:
(a) 0.5 Ω
(b) 6 Ω
(c) 12 Ω
(d) 24 Ω

Solution
(d) 24 Ω
Voltage, V = 12 V
Current, I = 0.5 A
Resistance, R = Voltage/Current
R = V/I
R = 12/0.5
R = 24 Ω
Thus, if a car's headlight bulb working on a 12 V car battery draws a current of 0.5 A, the resistance of the light bulb will be 24 Ω.
