The equation for power is,
Power [tex] P = I * V [/tex]
Where P is power is Watts
I is current in Amperes
V is voltage in volts
Given, power of the camcorder = 16 Watts
Output voltage from its battery = 8 Volts
Calculating the current in Amperes from power and voltage,
[tex] P = I * V [/tex]
[tex] 16 Watts = I * 8 Volts [/tex]
[tex] I =\frac{P}{V} [/tex]
I = [tex] \frac{16 W}{8 V} [/tex]
= 2 A
Therefore the current used will be 2 A.
Power is defined as product of current multiplying voltage, that is
P=I×V
Here, P is the power,
I is the current
While V is the voltage
Here,
P is 16 watt
V is 8 volt
I is the current, that needs to be determined,
Putting the values in the equation
16=I× 8
[tex] I=\frac{16}{8} [/tex]
I=2
So, When a camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 8 volts, what current is 2 A
