How much power is produced by a flashlight that has a voltage of 12 volts and a current of 6.5 × 10-2 amps? 0.78 watts 78 watts 190 watts 0.0054 watts 1.9 watts
As per the question we are asked to calculate the average power produced by flashlight.
It is given that the voltage [V] = 12 volts.
The current flowing through the circuit [I] \(= 6.5*10^-2\ ampere\)
The power consumed in an electrical circuit is the product of voltage and current flowing through that circuit. Mathematically it can be written as -
power = voltage×current
i.e P = VI [here p is the power]
Putting the values of V and I the power is calculated to be-
\(P = VI\)
\(= 12 volt*6.5*10^-2\ ampere\)
\(=0.78 watt\)
Here watt is the unit of electric power.
