What is the current in a 75 W light bulb that
is plugged into 120 V household outlet?


Sagot :

 P=VI
75=240*I
L=75 / 240
I rms =0.3125 A

Power = (voltage) x (current)

Divide each side by (voltage):  

               Current = (power) / (voltage)

                         I  =     (75) / 120  =  0.625 Amperes = 625 mA
