Example Problems

Example 1

The current through a lightbulb connected across the terminals of a 125-V outlet is 0.50 A. At what rate does the bulb convert electric energy to light? (Assume 100 percent efficiency.)

Example 2

A car battery causes a current of $2.0 \mathrm{A}$ through a lamp and produces $12 \mathrm{V}$ across it. What is the power used by the lamp?

Example 3

What is the current through a $75-$ W lightbulb that is connected to a $125-V$ outlet?

Example 4

The current through the starter motor of a car is $210 \mathrm{A}$. If the battery maintains $12 \mathrm{V}$ across the motor, how much electric energy is delivered to the starter in $10.0 \mathrm{s} ?$

Example 5

A flashlight bulb is rated at $0.90 \mathrm{W}$. If the lightbulb drops $3.0 \mathrm{V},$ how much current goes through it?
