Question

Calculate the amount of current flowing through a 75-watt light bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit in your home.

Answer 1

I = 0.625 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

`P=V* I`

I is the electric current

`I=(P)/(V)\\\\I=(75\ W)/(120\ V)\\\\I=0.625\ A`

So, the current is 0.625 A.
