A bulb is rated 5 V and 500 mA. Calculate its (a) power, (b) resistance, and (c) energy consumed when it is lighted for 4 hours.

Open in App

Solution

(a) Power = P = VI
$= 5 \times 0.5 = 2.5 W$
(b) Resistance (R) $= \frac{V}{I} = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 Ω$
(c) Energy consumed = $V I t = P \times t$
$E = 2.5 \times 4 \times 3600 J$
$E = 36000 J$
$E = 36 k J$
