Given:

the voltage of the battery is


V=12\text{ V}

The current is,


I=2.0\text{ A}

Required: Power used by the lamp

Step-by-step explanation:

the power is given by


P=VI

Plugging all the values in the above formula, we get:


\begin{gathered} P=12\text{ V}*2\text{ A} \\ P=24\text{ watt} \end{gathered}

Thus, the power used by the lamp is 24 watt.
