The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C. If the current is supplied by a 12.0 - V battery, what total energy in Joules is delivered to the lightbulb filament during 2.00 s

Respuesta :

Answer:

E = 20.03 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C,

Voltage, V = 12 V

We need to find the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament during 2.00 s.

The energy delivered is given by :

[tex]E=I^2Rt[/tex]. ....(1)

As,

[tex]I=\dfrac{q}{t}\\\\I=\dfrac{1.67}{2}\\\\I=0.835\ A[/tex]

As per Ohm's law, V = IR

[tex]R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12}{0.835}\\\\R=14.37\ \Omega[/tex]

Using formula (1).

[tex]E=0.835^2\times 14.37\times 2\\\\=20.03\ J[/tex]

So, the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament is 20.03 J.
