Question

Problem 6P

A television set connected to a 120-V outlet consumes 78 W of power, (a) How much current flows through the television? (b) How long does it take for 10 million electrons to pass through the TV?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

(a)

Here we need to calculate the current through the television. If a television is connected to a voltage of  and it consumes a power of .

Power consumed is given as,

                                        

Current will be,

                                        

Substituting  and

                                        

Therefore, the current through the television is 0.65 A.
