An appliance draws 3 amperes at 120 V (plugged into the wall). If the same appliance is run with a 12 V car battery, how many amperes will it need?

Respuesta :

The appliance is run with a 12 V car battery and the value of the electric current will be 0.3A.

What is electric current?

The pace at which electrons travel through a conductor is known as electric current. The ampere is the SI unit for electric current.

From ohm's law;

Case 1;

V=IR

120 V = 3 A × R

R = 40 ohm

For the same appliances, the value of the resistance is the same;

Case 2;

V=IR

12 V =  I × 40 ohm

I = 0.3 A

Hence the value of the current for case 2 will be 0.3 A.
