T5C09 - How much power is delivered by a voltage of 13.8 volts DC and a current of 10 amperes?

Question

How much power is delivered by a voltage of 13.8 volts DC and a current of 10 amperes?

Answer Options

  • A) 138 watts
  • B) 0.0725 watts
  • C) 1.38 watts
  • D) 3.8 watts

Correct Answer: A


Explanation

This is a direct application of the power formula, P = E \times I (T5C08). You multiply the voltage by the current to find the power.

P = 13.8\text{ V} \times 10\text{ A} = 138\text{ Watts}. This is the power delivered to a device operating at a common amateur radio supply voltage and drawing a typical amount of current for a medium-power transmitter (T4A01).
