Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the power of a lightbulb hooked up to a 12 V battery with an internal resistance of 10 Ohms?
A
7 W
B
14 W
C
20 W
D
32 W
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For 120 v it will be 10x what it is for 12 v. But assuming 12 v, approximately . 85 ohms.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, a 12 V bulb will have a resistance of 144/W, while a 6 volt bulb will have a resistance of 36/W. For equal wattage bulbs, the 12V bulb will have 4 times the resistance as the 6V bulb.

Detailed explanation-3: -Internal resistance of a 12V car battery is 0.02.

Detailed explanation-4: -A resistor of 10 connected across a cell of emf 12 V, draws the current of 1.1 A.
