Recap - Flashlight

Part of the Electricity and Magnetism section of Coddy's Physics journey. Lesson 29 of 51.

Challenge

A flashlight holds two $1.5\ \mathrm{V}$ cells in series, each with an internal resistance of $0.25\ \mathrm{\Omega }$ . Its bulb has a resistance of $2.5\ \mathrm{\Omega }$ . What power $P$ does the bulb get?

Try it yourself

Solve for $P$
