Answer 1

Answer: A.

5.4 watts

Explanation: edmentum

Answer 2

5.4 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 formulas of power (P) but since the problem gives us the current (I) and voltage (V). We can use the following formula:

`\displaystyle{ P=IV}`

We know that I or current is 0.045 amps and the voltage is 120 volts. Hence, substitute in:

`\displaystyle{P=0.045 \: \text{amps} \: * \: 120 \: \text{volts}} \\ \\ \displaystyle{P=5.4 \: \text{watts}}`

Therefore, the power produced is 5.4 watts
