You have two flashlights that have 0.500-A currents flowing through them. One flashlight has a single 1.50-V battery in its circuit, and the second flashlight has three 1.50-V batteries connected in a chain that provides 4.50 V. How much power is the battery in the first flashlight providing

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.75 W

Explanation:

Given

Current flowing [tex]I=0.5\ A[/tex]

The first flashlight has a single 1.5 V battery

The second flashlight has three 1.5 V batteries connected to provide 4.5 V

Power is the product of voltage and current.

For the first flashlight

[tex]\Rightarrow P=1.5\times 0.5\\\Rightarrow P=0.75\ W[/tex]

Thus, the first flashlight providing 0.75 W of power.
