𝑉 We know that the power of the bulb is 28W and the voltage
As is known, the bulb is 40 watts while the VRMS is 120 V.
40 𝑊 that we are going to use is 120V, so we have a current of :
𝐼= = 0.33 𝐴
120 𝑉 28 𝑊
𝐼= = 0.233 𝐴
And it is for this reason that the 20 A of the ammeter clamp is 120 𝑉

Before we said that we are going to use the option of 20 A by

0.233 𝐴 ∗ 100 𝑚𝑉
As we know in our houses, we have from 120 to 220 volts but = 23.3 𝑚𝑉
these values of voltage are the RMS voltage (Root Mean 1𝐴
Square). “The RMS value is the value of the AC voltage or
