19. A 60−W60-\mathrm{W} incandescent bulb and a 13.3 -Watt compact fluorescent light are both plugged into a 110 -volt household circuit and lit. Which bulb has the greater resistance? (A) Neither, since they are connected across the same potential difference. (B) The 60−W60-\mathrm{W} bulb, because it draws more current. (C) The 13.3−W13.3-\mathrm{W} bulb, because it uses less power (D) The 13.3−W13.3-\mathrm{W} bulb, because it is more efficient.
