The current through a light bulb connected across the terminals of a 120 V outlet is 0.25 A. At what rate does the bulb convert electric energy to light

1Your answer was incorrect, but has changed from what was graded. W

To determine the rate at which the bulb converts electric energy to light, we need to use the formula:

Power (P) = Current (I) x Voltage (V)

Given that the current through the bulb is 0.25 A and the voltage across the outlet is 120 V, we can calculate the power consumption of the bulb.

P = 0.25 A x 120 V
P = 30 W

Therefore, the bulb converts electric energy to light at a rate of 30 watts (W).
