Question:
An automobile’s 12. V battery is used to light the automobile’s two headlights. Each headlight can be modeled as a 1.00 ohm resistor. If the two headlights are hooked up to the battery in parallel to form a circuit, what is the power produced in each headlight? Why is a parallel circuit preferred for this application?
Draw the circuit and solve for the unknown quantity requested.
Step by Step Answer:
Since the headlights are connected in parallel the voltage across each headligh...View the full answer
