Question

A garland is made up of 12 LED bulbs of 0.5W each connected in series. The garland works on 12V and we light three of them, connected in parallel.

a/ calculate the total power

b/ calculate the total current consumed

c/ if we wanted to replace these LED bulbs with incandescent bulbs, we should put 40W bulbs. These bulbs have a tungsten filament with a diameter of 1mm. Determine the length of a filament of a light bulb.

d/ what total current would then be necessary with garlands operating with these filament bulbs? Is this realistic?
