Formula $I = \frac{V}{R}$ $230 V$ $: I = \frac{230 V}{1000 \Omega} = 0.23 A.$ $: The current flowing through the filament of the bulb = 0.23 A. Example 2 : The length of a conducting wire is 50 cm and its radius is 0.5 mm. If its resistance is 30 $\Omega$, what is the resistivity of its material? Given : L = 50 cm = 50 × $10^{-2}$ m
