Question

a dvd player that is not playing but still plugged in still uses 10.0 of power. what is this vampire current if the machine is plugged into a 120 v electric outlet

Answer 1

Current = 0.0833 Amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 10Watts

Voltage = 120V

To find the ampere-current;

Power = current * voltage

Substituting into the equation, we have;

10 = current * 120

Current = 10/120

Current = 0.0833 Amperes
