Given data:
Voltage (V) = 120 V,
Power (P) = 50.4 Watts,
current flowing (I) = ?
Power is nothing but the rate of doing work. Hence W/t represents electric Power (P).
Electric Power (P) = V.I Watts
This equation can be used to calculate the power consumption by any electrical device that is connected in a circuit.
In the given question, we need to determine the Current flowing through the circuit(bulb).
From the equation,
P = V.I Watts
50.4 = 120 × I
I = 50.4/120
I = 0.42 Amp
Current flowing through the circuit is 0.42 Amperes.
