Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{A. }0.5\text{ A}}$.
The current flowing through a light bulb is
given by the equation $I = \frac{P}{V}$, where $P$ is the power in watts and $V$ is the voltage in volts. In this case, $P = 60\text{ W}$ and $V = 120\text{ V}$, so $I = \frac{60\text{ W}}{120\text{ V}} = 0.5\text{ A}$.Option B is incorrect because it is too large. Option C is incorrect because it is a time, not a current. Option D is incorrect because it is too large. Option E is the correct answer because it is the only option that is both a current and a possible value for the current flowing through a 60-W light bulb operating at 120 V.
