Problem Solving I = E/Vt


I = 4800J/(12V)
(120s)
1. If a light bulb operates on 110 V, how
I = 3.33 A
much energy does it convert from
electrical to other forms when 150 C
Answer: 3.33 A
of charge passes through it.

E = QV
E = (110V)(150C)
E = 16,500 J

Answer: 16,500 J

:
5. A bulb runs on a voltage of 110
2. A light bulb operating on 110 V has V and has a current of 0.1 A in
0.50 A of current passing through it. it. It transfers 2400 J of energy
How much energy does the bulb in a given time. What is this

time?

t = E/VI
t = 2400J/(110V)(0.1A)
t = 218.18 s

Answer: 16,E500 J
= VIt Answer: 218.18 s
E = (110V)(0.50A)(300s)
E = 16,500 J
3. How much energy is transferred
when a current of 3 A flows in a
circuit with a voltage of 12 V in 1 6. A lamp transfers 24 J of energy and
minute? draws a current of 2 A for 1 s. What
voltage is it operating at?
E = VIt V = E/It
E = (12V)(3A)(60s) V = 24J/(2A)(1s)
E = 2,160 J V = 12 V
Answer: 2,160 J
Answers: 12 V
