What would be the current in the lightbulb in Example 4.6 if it sustained a voltage drop
Question:
What would be the current in the lightbulb in Example 4.6 if it sustained a voltage drop of 120. V and required a power of 100. W?
Example 4.6
A battery sustains a voltage drop of 3.0 V across a small lightbulb and produces a current of 0.1 A through the lightbulb. What is the power required by the lightbulb?
Need: Power of lightbulb in watts (W).
Know: Voltage across bulb is 3.0 V. Current through lightbulb I = 0.1 A.
How: Use Equation (4.7), P = I × V, that is, power ¼ voltage [1] current.
