In order for a 30 volt 90 watt lamp to work properly in a 120 volt supply the required series resister in ohm is?
A 30 volt 90 watt lamp has 3 amps going through it. The series resistor also has 3 amps going through it, by Kirchoff's current law. The voltage across the resistor is 90 volts. With 3 amps, that is 30 ohms. (By the way... The resistor must be rated to carry 270 watts. That is a lot of power for a resistor.)
Can lamp work only on ac?
Depends. Lamps can certainly be built to work on either AC, or DC, or both. But some lamps, particularly those with electronics in them, either a dimmable lamp, or a fluorescent lamp, may only work with one type of electricity.
Will 1500 watts work on 220 volts?
Using the formula I = W/E, the current of the circuit will be 6.8 amps. As long as the wire is at least a #14 and is protected by a 15 amp two pole breaker There will be no problem. Just make sure that the specifications on the 1500 watt device clearly show that the voltage range is 220 - 240 volts. It certainly can, but it would depend on the fuse rating and existing load on the circuit.
How do you solve for current using volts and watts in a problem?
Amperes measure the rate of flow of electricity in a conductor Volts measure electrical pressure Watts measure the amount of energy or work that can be done by Amperes and Volts Relationship: Work = Pressure x Flow or Watts = Volts x Amperes When you know two variables you can calculate the other Formulas - This formula referred to as the West Virginia Formula (W - VA)Watts = Volts x Amps Volts = Watts / Amps Amps - Watts / Volts Refer to link below for more information
Is it ok to use 1 nine volt power pack with 4 small 12 volt fans?
No, 12 volts means 12 volts. Anything less will not work and anything more will not work.
