Solution Preview
First we need to calculate the resistor of this 60W/240V lighbulb, say R. By a formulae "Power=Voltage*Voltage/Resistor", so we have
R=240*240/60=960(O)
Similarly, we know that the resistor ...
Solution Summary
The solution is given as a described equation. The expert determines how bright the relative bulbs will be and how much power will be consumed.
