Questions seem to be two! First is the direct current in a circuit with 12 V battery and 3 ohm resistor in it. The answer is 4 ampere if there is negligible internal resistance in the battery.
By ohm's law V = R I So, I = V/R
Second one is the alternating current with 120V given to 60 W bulb. The answer is 0.5 ampere. This 0.5 is the rms value of alternating current.
Power P = V I So, I = P/V
I = E/R = 120/25 = 4.8 amperes
You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
The voltage of a circuit with a resistance of 250 ohms and a current of 0.95 amps is 237.5 volts. Ohms's law: Voltage = Current times Resistance
No. Circuit is open but still HOT.
For a series circuit... Each bulb has different impedance (ohms) resulting in a different voltage drop across each. Remember Kirchoff's Current Law: The current at each point in a series circuit is the same. That same current, multiplied by the different voltage drops results in different powers (watts = amps * volts) for each bulb. For a parallel circuit. Again, each bulb still has different impedance. This time, the voltage drop is the same (Kirchoff's Voltage Law) but the current in each bulb is different. Same situation - different power in each bulb.
Each light bulb will receive the full 9 volts from the battery in a series circuit, so each bulb will be operating on 9 volts.
I = E/R = 120/25 = 4.8 amperes
Current or amperage, is wattage divided by voltage. 60 / 120 = .5 amp.
Current or amperage, is wattage divided by voltage. 60 / 120 = .5 amp.
Current or amperage, is wattage divided by voltage. 60 / 120 = .5 amp.
Power = (voltage) x (current) 60 = 120 x I I = 60/120 = 1/2 Amp.
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
A closed switch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow through the light bulb and generate light. If the switch is not closed, there is an open circuit, meaning the current cannot flow and the light bulb does not turn on.
Incomplete circuit
The circuit needs to be closed for the light bulb to light up because it allows current to flow uninterrupted from the power source through the light bulb, which then converts electrical energy into light and heat. If the circuit is open, the flow of current is interrupted, and the light bulb will not receive the necessary electrical energy to produce light.
how much resistance does a light bulb creat if iyt has a current of 25 mA around it in a 9 V circuit?
