A lamp is plugged into a standard 120 volt outlet. If the lamp draws a current of 0.5 amps how much energy is consumed in 1 minute?

There is a relationship between energy, current, voltage and time. The formula to be used is written below:

E = IVt,

where

I is the current in amperes

V is voltage in volts

t is the time in seconds

Substituting the values,

E = (0.5 A) (120 V) (60 s)

E = 3,600 J
