Answer:
The first flashlight,
P = 7.5 W
The second flashlight,
P = 18.75 W
Explanation:
P = VI……………… Equation 1
Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = current.
For the first flashlight,
Given: I = 2.5 A, and V = 1.5×2 (The first uses two battery in chain) = 3 V
Substitute into equation 1
P = 3(2.5)
P = 7.5 W.
For the second flash light,
P = VI
Given: I = 2.5 A, V = 1.5×5 ( The second uses five batteries in a chain) = 7.5 V
Substitute into equation 1
P = 2.5(7.5)
P = 18.75 W.
