Answer:
Bulb A has a greater resistance.
Explanation:
Electric power (P) = V²/R
P = V²/R................ Equation 1
Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.
Make R the subject of the equation
R = V²/P ................ Equation 2
For Bulb A,
Given: V = 120 V, P = 60 W.
Substitute into equation 2
R = 120²/60
R = 240 Ω
For bulb B
Given: V =120 V, P = 100 W.
Substitute into equation 2
R = 120²/100
R = 14400/100
R = 144 Ω
Hence Bulb A has a greater resistance.
