Question

During the time that a light bulb was on, it converted 54 kJ of energy into

light energy and heat energy. The light bulb was plugged into a 120 V outlet.
What amount of charge, in coulombs, passed through the light bulb while it was
on?

Answer 1

Q = 450 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A light bulb is converted 54 kJ of energy into light energy and heat energy.

The light bulb was plugged into a 120 V outlet.

We need to find the charge passed through the light bulb while it was on.

We know that the relation between voltage, current and energy is given by :

`Q=(E)/(V)\\\\Q=(54* 10^3)/(120)\\\\Q=450\ C`

So, 450 C of charge passed through the light bulb.
