Potential difference and power — practice question

A torch has three lamps arranged in parallel, and it is supplied by a cell with electromotive force (e.m.f.) $3.0\,\text{V}$ and negligible internal resistance. The power dissipated by each lamp is $0.60\,\text{W}$. What current flows in the cell?

  • A$0.067\,\text{A}$
  • B$0.20\,\text{A}$
  • C$0.60\,\text{A}$
  • D$0.83\,\text{A}$
