Question: how much power is dissipated in each light bulb?
Answer: The power dissipated in each bulb is either (1/9)2 × 360 = 4.44 watts, or (1/9) × 40 = 4.44 watts. The total power dissipated in the circuit is three times this, or 13.3 watts ((1/9)2 × 3(360) = 1080/81 = 13.3 W, or (1/9) A × 120 V = 13.3 W).
