    Answer: 600Ω

    Explanation:

    Voltage of source (V) = 120 Volts

    Current drawn by table lamp (I) = 200mA

    (Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

    200mA = 200 x 10^-3A)

    Resistance of table lamp (R)= ?

    Then, apply the formula for ohms law

    Voltage = Current x resistance

    i.e V = I x R

    120V = 200 x 10^-3A x R

    R = 120V / 200 x 10^-3A

    R = 600Ω (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

    Thus, the resistance of the table lamp is 600Ω
