Question
An electric lamp is labelled 12 V, 36 W. This indicates that it should be used with a 1 V supply. What other information does the label provide?
Solution
The label further tells us that the total power consumed by the electric lamp will be 36 W and the current derived by it is 3 A (using the equation, P = VI).
