Considering an incandescent bulb and using P=VxI
P= Power Watts
V= Volts
I= Current (amperes)
I=P/V
I=75Watts/120Volts = 0.625 Amperes (A or Amps)
Therefore the current through a 75watt bulb that is connected to a 120volt circuit is 0.625 amps.

The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
How are fuses or circuit breakers connected with other elements in the circuit?
Fuses are normally associated in series with the component(s) to be protected from over-current, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it's going to open the whole circuit and prevent cutting-edge through the ingredient
Why ammeter use fuses and volt meter do not?
An ammeter measures current THROUGH a circuit, a voltmeter measures current ACROSS a circuit. The ammeter is connected to a power source in series, essentially actually becoming part of the circuit. The current is flowing directly through the ammeter as if there were a wire in its place. If there is a surge from a substantial power source, the ammeter would be destroyed and the user could be severely injured. The fuse will "blow" if its "load" is exceeded breaking the circuit. A volt meter is connected to a power source in parallel because it has an extremely high resistance and little to no current would get through. You don't need a fuse because the current doesn't flow through it openly.
A path that electricity can move through is called?
the complete path that electricity can move through is called
What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
What are the multiple connected pathways through which electric current flows?
Integrated Circuit or Monolithic Integrated Circuit or IC is an electronic circuit set on a plate. Its microscopic pathways carries electrical currents.
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
What is the difference between series and parallel circut?
If two or more circuit elements are connected in series, the current must pass through each of them in turn. If two or more circuit elements are connected in parallel, that means there is a "fork in the road". In this case, part of the current will pass through one element, and part, through another one.
What happens when a battery is hooked up to an open circuit?
nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through
What does A with a ring round it stand for in a circuit?
It stands for an ammeter - a meter that measures current (in Amperes - hence the 'A'). It is usually connected in series within the circuit, to measure the current as it passes through it.
What is a circuit which will allow flowing current?
As long as an electrical power source is connected to itself with electrical conductors of some kind, then a current will flow through it. How much current will depend on the components used in the circuit.
What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
How is a series circuit different to a parell circuit?
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
If there are 2 points with different potential energy will there still be an electrical current through the circuit?
Not necessarily. The two points with potential difference, will have to be connected via a conductor, for current to flow.Provided that a circuit exists, then current WILL flow.
If I have a circuit with four lamps each lamp is individually connected across the circuit so that the same current is not flowing through each lamp What type of circuit is this?
Parallel Parallel
