A 12-volt automotive circuit has a current of 3 amps. Technician A says the electric power in this circuit is 36 watts. Technician B says the electric power in this circuit is 4 watts. Who is right?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Technician A is right.                                                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of circuit, V = 12 volt

Current in the circuit, I = 3 A

Technician A says the electric power in this circuit is 36 watts. Technician B says the electric power in this circuit is 4 watts. We need to say that which technician is correct.

The power of any circuit is given by :

[tex]P=V\times I[/tex]

[tex]P=12\ V\times 3\ A[/tex]

P = 36 watts

So, technician A is right. Hence, this is the required solution.
