Uh - I don't know. I'm going to guess A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for what reasons?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_circuits#Parallel_circuits \[I =V (\frac{4}{R})\] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power#Resistive_circuits \[P = \frac{V^2}{R} \rightarrow R = \frac{V^2}{P}\] \[\rightarrow I = V(\frac{4P}{V^2})\] \[I = \frac{4P}{V} = \frac{400}{220} = 1.8\]

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Careful: there are only 3 bulbs fed by the designed current.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100/220 = 0.45, the current of one bulb. Since the ammeter is measuring the current used by ONLY three bulbs, the reading will be about 1.35
