Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power consumed by the light bulb can be calculated by P=VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. Plugging in the given values, we get P = (120 V)(6 A) = 720 watts, which is different from the given value of 20 watts, making the statement false.
