Explanation
Since the bulbs are connected in parallel, each bulb experiences the full voltage of 110 V. Using Ohm's law (I = V / R), the current through each bulb is I = 110 V / 1800 Ω ≈ 0.061 A or 61 mA. However, the correct answer listed is 610 mA, which suggests a different interpretation or a typo in the options. Given the resistance and voltage, the current should be approximately 61 mA.
