*Question G5B04:
How many watts of electrical power are consumed by a 12 VDC light bulb that draws 0.2 amperes?*  

*Correct Answer is  A: 2.4 watts*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

To calculate the electrical power consumed by the light bulb, we can use the formula for electrical power:

$$
P = V \times I
$$

where:
- $P$ = power in watts
- $V$ = voltage in volts
- $I$ = current in amperes

In this case:
- $V = 12 \, \text{V}$
- $I = 0.2 \, \text{A}$

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

$$
P = 12 \, \text{V} \times 0.2 \, \text{A} = 2.4 \, \text{W}
$$

### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
- The correct answer is **2.4 watts** because we correctly applied the formula for power using the given voltage and current values.

### Explanation of Incorrect Choices:
- **A: 2.4 watts** - Correct answer.
- **B: 24 watts** - This would be the result if the current were 2 amperes instead of 0.2 amperes, calculated as $12 \, \text{V} \times 2 \, \text{A} = 24 \, \text{W}$.
- **C: 6 watts** - This would be the result if the current were 0.5 amperes, calculated as $12 \, \text{V} \times 0.5 \, \text{A} = 6 \, \text{W}$.
- **D: 60 watts** - This would be the result if the current were 5 amperes, calculated as $12 \, \text{V} \times 5 \, \text{A} = 60 \, \text{W}$.

### Summary:
- The power consumed by the light bulb is calculated using the formula $P = V \times I$.
- The correct answer is 2.4 watts, derived from the given voltage and current values. The other choices are based on incorrect assumptions about the current.
