Question

You plug a string of 100 lights in series into a 120 V power outlet, and each light has a resistance of 3.00 _. If each light has a power rating of 0.50 W, what will happen?

The string will remain lit.

All the lights will go out.

Only one light will go out.

You cannot predict what will happen.

Answer 1

V = IR

By completing the equation, i found that the total power equation is : 4.8,
Which means that it's not exceed the power rating.

So i believe the answer would be : The string will remain lit

hope this helps
