    The equation for electrical power is P=VI where V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6 (a). 6 (b) can be solved with Ohm's Law V=IR or if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for I P = V2 R For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same. We can find the resistance of each lamp from P = V2 R Then the equivalent resistance as 1 R∗ = 1 R1 + 1 R2 Then the total power as Pt = V2 R∗ However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra) Pt = P1 + P2 For 8, again the resistance can be found as P = V2 R The energy usage is simply E=P⋅t
