Determining Wattage Amperage is a measure of the amount of electricity that is moving through a circuit, while voltage is a measure of the force pushing the electricity. The wattage \(W\) consumed by an electrical device can be determined by calculating the product of amperage \(I\) and voltage \(V .\) (Source: Wilcox, G. and C. Hesselberth, Electricity for Engineering Technology, Allyn \& Bacon.) (a) A household circuit has voltage $$V=163 \sin 120 \pi t$$ when an incandescent light bulb is turned on with amperage $$I=1.23 \sin 120 \pi t$$ Graph the wattage $$W=V I$$ that is consumed by the light bulb over the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 0.05\) (b) Determine the maximum and minimum wattages used by the light bulb.

Mach Number for a Plane An airplane flying faster than sound sends out sound waves that form a cone as illustrated in the figure. The cone intersects the ground to form a hyperbola.
