Question

A camcorder has a power rating of 17 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?

Answer: ________ Units:__________

Answer 1

Answer: The current use by the camcorder is of 2.42 amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power rating of the camcorder,P = 17 watt

The voltage from the battery,V = 7 volts

`Power=Voltage* Current`

`17 watts=7 volts* I`

`I=(17 watts)/(7 Volts)=2.42 Ampere`

The current use by the camcorder is of 2.42 Amperes.
