Problem

A torch bulb is rated 3 V,  0.30 A3\,\text{V},\;0.30\,\text{A}. The bulb is to be operated from a 12 V12\,\text{V} battery. (i) Calculate the resistance of the bulb from its rating. (ii) Determine the value of the series resistor that must be connected so that the bulb receives its correct current from the 12 V12\,\text{V} supply.
