A lamp doesn't care whether it operates from a 12-V d.c. supply or from a 120V a.c. supply -all that matters is the supply must be 12 V!

If it's connected to a 12-V d.c. supply, then it will draw a current of 8.33 A; if it's connected to a 12-V a.c. supply, it will still draw a current of 8.33 A.

A 100W 12V DC bulb would draw approximately 8.33 amps. This is calculated by dividing the power (100W) by the voltage (12V).

8.33 A

P=IV

therefore I=P/V

I=100/12

I=8.33A

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E , Amps = Watts/ Volts.

1000 / 12 = 83.33 A

Divide the watts by the volts, so it's 130 divided by 12, and the answer is in amps.

How many amps does a led light draw?

Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.


How many amps will a 60 watt bulb draw from 120 volts?

Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. An incandescent light bulb is a resistive load so PF = 1. ANSWER: = 1/2 Amp


How many amps does 65 watt light bulb draw?

A 65-watt light bulb operating at 120 volts draws approximately 0.54 amps of current. You can calculate this by dividing the wattage (65 watts) by the voltage (120 volts) to get the amperage.


How many amps in a small table lamp?

A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.

How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?

A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.


How many milliamps does a 100 watt bulb use?

A 100 watt bulb typically draws around 833 milliamps (mA) of current. This calculation is done using Ohm's Law formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). With a standard 120V power source, a 100W bulb would draw approximately 833mA.
