The current's power factor is the true power divided by the apparent power. The Apparent Power is the volts multiplied by the amps. In this example, the ratio would be 200/253, or approximately .79.

In an electric current electricity flow how?

Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.


If two light-bulbs are connected in a series circuit and one of the light-bulb's current flowing is 0.5 A what is the current flowing in the other light-bulb?

Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.


Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?

yes


How would the circuit inside a flashlight work?

Flashlight by light, battery, circuit, a hood and a reflective cup, circuit storehouse, switch, etc, the basic principle is the current from the battery, and then to the circuit, after adjusting circuit voltage and current, and then output to the light source for lighting.


What factor in a circuit leads to electricity producing light?

fuse.


In what way the connections are made to get a higher output current from light?

A light doesn't output current, it "draws" current based on voltage and its resistance. Voltage = Current x Resistance or Current = Voltage / Resistance. (Ohm's Law)


What is the formula for calculating the full current load of a 400 watt metal halide light?

For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.


What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?

The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.


This circuit is a series circuit because?

the same current flows through both light bulbs


Why will the current flow be different in a heated rear screen circuit than a side light circuit?

the heated rear screen circuit has a higher resistance compared to the side light circuit


Why is there 0 current when a light bulb burns out?

Incomplete circuit


A light bulb in a simple circuit blows and goes out Is current now flowing in the circuit?

No. Circuit is open but still HOT.
