Question

A light draws 220 watts on a 120 volt circuit, how many amperes of electricity is it using?

120 amperes

Answer 1

1.83 amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct solution is "1.83 A".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Power,

P = 220 watts

Current,

I = 120 volt

Now,

The voltage will be:

⇒
`P=I* V`

or,

⇒
`V=(P)/(I)`

On substituting the values, we get

⇒
`=(220)/(120)`

⇒
`=1.83 \ A`
