The battery has an e.m.f. of 6V and the lamp is rated at 6V, 6W. The current flowing in the lamp can be calculated from: I = P/V = 6W/6V = 1A Applying Ohm's Law to determine the working resistance of the lamp (i.e. the resistance when illuminated) gives: R = V/I = 6V/1A = 6Ω (:nl:)(:table style="clear:both":)
