Question

A large lamp is plugged into a standard American outlet. If the current into the bulb is 0.50 A, how much Energy does the bulb use in 13 minutes?

help help help please and thank you

Answer 1

standard American outlet has voltage of 120V

first calculate power: power = current * voltage. we're in SI units, so for power, our unit is the Watts, or joules/second. multiply power by 13 minutes * 60 seconds/minute to get the energy in joules.
