Answer:
P = 180 [w]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.
V = I*R & P = V*I
where:
V = voltage = 200[volts]
I = current [amp]
R = resistance [ohm]
P = power [watts]
Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed
P = 60 + 60 + 60
P = 180 [watts]
Now we can calculate the current
I = 180/200
I = 0.9[amp]
Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.
And the power is defined by P = V*I
we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore
P = 200*0.9
P = 180 [w]
