What is the current in an AC circuit with a 120-volts and a 60 watt light bulb?
Power = Volts x Amps ( P= V*A) Therefore Amps = P/V in this case .5 amps
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 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.
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.
What happens to lights in parallel if one goes out?
In a series circuit each light completes its part of the circuit and connects to the next light. So, if one light fails, the circuit is broken and the flow of current to all lights must stop.
Why does a switch make a light turn on and off?
The purpose of a switch is to stop and start a current flow in a circuit. The stopping of a current flow in a circuit effects the load of the circuit by stopping its action. Resuming the current flow in a circuit also resumes the action of the load.
