Question

Technician A says that a 12 Volt light bulb that draws 12 amps has a power output of 1 watt. Technician B says that a motor that has 1 ohm of resistance has a power rating of 144 watts of it is connected to a 12 volt battery. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Technician B

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance,
`R=\frac {V}{I}` where V is the voltage and I is the current in amps

Therefore,
`R=\frac {12}{12}=1 ohm`

Power=VI=12*12=144 W

Therefore, the power is 144 W and resistance is 1 Ohm. This implies that technician A is wrong while technician B is correct
