since the bulbs are identical, they have the same resistance, this means that they will divide the current equally, so 9A / 3 = 3A

If they are set up in series, and you only have voltage, you will need to know the total resistance of the bulbs to calculate current. the current will be the same through all bulbs in series, but be sure to use TOTAL resistance, not just the resistance of one bulb.

Current = Voltage / Resistance

Current = 9V / Resistance [in ohms]

Three identical bulbs are set up in a parallel. The total current in the circuit is 9.0A. What is the current through each bulb?

C) 3.0 A ans

also, three identical bulbs are set up in SERIES. The total voltage in the circuit is 9.0V. What is the current through each bulb?

you must know resistance of bulbs. same current will pass through each bulb.

C) 3.0A

3.0V across each bulb for part two, but the current is unknown since no resistance for the bulbs or current for the circuit was specified.
