Question

an electrical circuit and watts law are being disused. technician a states that if amperage increases and voltage stays the same, the power will increase. technician b states that if voltage goes up, and amperage goes up, the power will increase. who is correct?

select one:

○ a. technician a only
○ b. technician b only
○ c. both technicians a and b
○ d. neither technician a nor b

Explanation:

Watts' Law is \( P = V \times I \) (power = voltage × amperage). For Technician A: If \( V \) is constant and \( I \) increases, \( P = V\times I \) increases (e.g., \( V = 5 \), \( I = 2 \) gives \( P = 10 \); \( I = 3 \) gives \( P = 15 \)). For Technician B: If both \( V \) and \( I \) increase, \( P = V\times I \) will also increase (e.g., \( V = 5, I = 2 \) → \( P = 10 \); \( V = 6, I = 3 \) → \( P = 18 \)). So both are correct.

Answer:

c. Both Technicians A and B
