A 120V household electrical outlet supplies 12 watts of power
when the current is 0.1 Ampere (and the power factor is 100%).

Current = (power)/(voltage) = 12/120 = 0.1 Ampere.

What are you doing to the electrical circuit in your radio when you turn the radio on and off?
When you turn your radio on and off, you are simply flicking the switch in the circuit, the same as any circuit with a switch in it. When you turn it on, the switch completes the circuit, and current can flow around the circuit.

When radio is turned on electrical current flows through it what main type of energy is produced by the radio?
The electric power supplied to a radio is used to produce two types of energy: heat and sound. The sound is the useful part, and work is always continuing to find ways of producing less heat, because it only uses up electric power, and there are much better ways to keep our hands warm.
How do aerials work?
There are two main types of electric car aerial; automatic and semi-automatic. Automatic ones raise or lower when the ignition and/or the radio is turned on. Semi-automatic ones have a selector switch on the dashboard. When either of the conditions shown above exist, a relay turns ON and passes power to a motor at the base of the aerial. The motor then raises the aerial until it reaches its upper position where a limit switch breaks the circuit. The relay remains in the ON position and the aerial remains in the raised position until the ignition and/or the radio is turned off. When the ignition and/or the radio is turned off, the relay goes into the OFF condition. Power now flows through a second circuit in the relay and also through a second circuit in the aerial motor to reverse the drive and lower the aerial until a second, lower limit switch is broken. The relay is a single-throw, double-pole unit. The aerial motor is a three-wire unit and often incorporates a circuit breaker.

What is the wave source of a radio wave?
The source is the RF current in the transmitting antenna.
How much current flows in a 12 watt radio connected to a 120 volt supply?
Assuming that you mean connected to 120 Volts (V) supply, start with Power(P)=Current(I) x Voltage(V), and if P=V*I, then I=P/V. I=12W/120V=0.1A or 100mA and that is your current.
How much curent flows in a 12-watt radio connected to a 120-volt circuit?
Power = voltage x currentCurrent = power/voltage = 12/120 = 0.1 ampere = 100 milliamperes

How much current flows in a 12-watt radio connected to a 120-volt circuit?
Since power = current x voltage, you would divide the power (watts) by the voltage. The answer would be 1/10 amps or .10 amps.
Which is the radio fuse in a 1988 4Runner?
The radio fuse is connected to the horn circuit, under the hood left/passenger side (15 Amp fuse)
Do radios use magnets?
Yes, they do. You need small electromagnets in the speakers so that you can hear the radio station. The incoming radio signal is converted to an electric current by the aerial, boosted by circuit boards in the radio, then transmitted by the speakers by using the current to vibrate the electromagnets.
What is a tank circuit used for?
A tank circuit is used on a radio transmitter. It is an electronic circuit that is used to tune a specific frequency. The tank is made up of two components, an inductor and a capacitor. The two components are connected in a parallel with each other. This is where the term "tank" comes from. Used in a radio transmitter, it is tuned for maximum RF (radio frequency) output on the frequency the transmitter is tuned to.
Why parallel resonance is termed as rejecter circuit?
THE PARALLEL rlc CIRCUIT IS CALLED A REJECTOR CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT REJECTS DOWN THE CURRENT. THE REASON IS AT RESONANCE THE IMPEDENCE OF THE CAPACITOR BECOMES EQUAL TO THAT OF THE INDUCTOR SO NO CURRENT FLOWS. AT LOW FREQUENCY THE CAPACITIVE REACTANCE IS LOW SO ALL THE CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH THE INDUCTOR AND WHEN THE FREQUENCY IS HIGH ALL THE CURRENT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE CAPACITOR BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THE REACTANCE OF THE CAPACITOR IS LOW. SO WE OBTAIN A V-SHAPED GRAPH WITH THE PEAK OF V INDICATING THE REJECTION OF CURRENT IN PARALLEL R-L-C CIRCUIT CIRCUIT,AT RESONANCE,IMPEDANCE IS MAXIMUM AND CURRENT IS MINIMUM.HENCE, SUCH A CIRCUIT WHEN USED IN RADIO STATIONS IS KNOWN AS REJECTOR CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT REJECTS OR TAKES MINIMUM CURRENT OF THAT DESIRED FREQUENCY TO WHICH IT RESONATES.(THIS RESONANCE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CURRENT RESONANCE BECAUSE THE CURRENT CIRCULATING BETWEEN THE TWO BRANCHES IS MANY TIMES GREATER THAN THE LINE CURRENT TAKEN FROM THE SUPPLY.THE PHENOMENON OF PARALLEL RESONANCE IS OF GREAT PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE BECAUSE IT FORMS THE BASIS OF TUNED CIRCUITS IN ELECTRONICS.)A PARALLEL R-L-C CIRCUIT HAS THE PROPERTY OF SELECTIVITY I.E.IT CAN SELECT THE DESIRED FREQUENCY FOR AMPLIFICATION OUT OF A LARGE NUMBER OF FREQUENCIES SIMULTANEOUSLY IMPRESSED UPON IT.FOR INSTANCE IF A MIXTURE OF FREQUENCIES INCLUDING RESONANT FREQUENCY IS FED TO THE INPUT THEN MAXIMUM AMPLIFICATION OCCURS FOR THE RESONANT FREQUENCY.FOR ALL OTHER FREQUENCIES ,THE CIRCUIT OFFERS VERY LOW IMPEDANCE AND HENCE THESE ARE AMPLIFIED TO A LESSER EXTENT AND MAY BE THOUGHT AS REJECTED BY THE CIRCUIT.
How do you produce electricity from electromagnetic waves?
Current flows through any conductor when electromagnetic waves fly past it. That's how a radio antenna works.
Can you connect a radio to a light switch?
If you mean can you plug a radio into an outlet controlled by a light switch, the answer is yes, provided the radio does not draw more current that the circuit can supply. (This would not apply to your standard household radio, but only to a high powered unit.)
