What kind of work does the current in a car light bulb produce at a voltage of 12 V and a current of 3.5 A for 2 minutes?

U = 12V.

I = 3.5 A.

t = 2 min = 120 s.

A -?

When an electric current passes through a conductor, it performs work A, the value of which is determined by the Joule-Lenz law: A = U * I * t, where U is the voltage at the ends of the conductor, I is the current in the conductor, t is the time of current passage.

A = 12 V * 3.5 A * 120 s = 5040 J.

Answer: when passing through a conductor, the current performs work A = 5040 J.
