Calculate the amount of current flowing through a 75-watt light bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit in your home.

Respuesta :

Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

[tex]P=V\times I[/tex]

I is the electric current

[tex]I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A[/tex]

So, the current is 0.625 A.
