Homework Statement
A light bulbs brightness can be measured by its power consumption. This in turn will depend on the I, V and R of the light bulb. The light bulb is rated at a power consumption of 1.0W when placed at a voltage of 6.0V. We change the battery from a 6.0V to a 3.0V one. Will the light bulb shine brighter than the previous case. What will be the current through the light bulb
Homework Equations
P=IV
The Attempt at a Solution
Is the power consumption 1.0W for both cases
If it is then I1=1/6 and I2 =1/3 Therefore the latter example will shine brighter
If not how do i take into account the changing power
