A bulb with a normal working voltage of 12V has a resistance of 30ohm. Now there is only a group of batteries with a voltage of 24V. How much resistance should be connected in series to the bulb? Second question: do you have any better way?

According to the voltage bisection, a 30 ohm resistor should be connected in series
Better way:
In parallel with the sliding rheostat, the voltage at both ends reaches 12V
