circuit in Mike’s home is almost at maximum current. If it is a 120 V circuit with about 1/3 of an amp available to safely use, which bulb would be the maximum wattage Mike could use?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 W

Explanation:

The maximum wattage (power) that Mike can use is given by:

[tex]P=VI[/tex]

where

V is the voltage

I is the maximum current

In this problem, we have:

[tex]V=120 V[/tex] is the voltage

[tex]I=\frac{1}{3}A=0.33 A[/tex] is the maximum current available

Therefore, the maximum power that could be used is

[tex]P=VI=(120 V)(0.33 A)=40 W[/tex]

Answer:

40 W
