If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]T=8.33A[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery [tex]n=10[/tex]

Voltage source[tex]E=12V[/tex]

Lamp Power[tex]P=10W[/tex]

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

 [tex]R=\frac{V^2}{P}[/tex]

 [tex]R=\frac{12^2}{10}[/tex]

 [tex]R=14.4ohms[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}[/tex]

 [tex]R_{eq}=1.44[/tex]

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

 [tex]T=\ffrac{V}{Req}[/tex]

 [tex]T=\frac{12}{1.44}[/tex]

 [tex]T=8.33A[/tex]
