Step 1
To find the current, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). In this case, the voltage is 12V and the power consumption is 41W. We can use the formula P = IV, where P is power, I is current, and V is Show more…

a car headlight is rated 55w and 12v and has current of 4.58a. what is the resistance in the filament
Rahul K.
Problem 1: Eight identical lights, each having resistance R, are connected in parallel with a 12 V battery. (a) What is the voltage drop across each bulb? (b) If the current flowing through the circuit is 0.4 A, what is the resistance of each bulb? (c) What is the power dissipated in each bulb? Be sure to draw a well labeled diagram. Additional info: Power is equal to current times voltage or P = IV.
