W=100 watt
V=120 volt
I= ?

Ans: R=v^2/w.
=(120*120)/100,
=144 ohm.
I= V/R.
=120/144.
I= 0.83A.
I=830mA.

R=V square/p.
R=120 squre/100
R=144 ohms.
I=V/R.
I= 120/144=830mA

W=VI
I=W/V
I=100/120=830mA

W = VI.

100 = 120*I.

I = 100/120.

P = VI so I = P/V,
I = 100/120 = 0.83.

So, 0.83 * (1000/1000) = 830 * 10^-3 = 830mA.
