To determine the power consumed by the starter motor of a large truck, we need to use the formula for electrical power. The formula for power in an electric circuit is given by:
[tex]\[ P = I \times V \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\( P \)[/tex] is the power in watts (W)
- [tex]\( I \)[/tex] is the current in amperes (A)
- [tex]\( V \)[/tex] is the voltage in volts (V)
Given the following values:
- Current, [tex]\( I = 265 \, A \)[/tex]
- Voltage, [tex]\( V = 22 \, V \)[/tex]
we can plug these values into the formula to determine the power.
Step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the given values:
[tex]\[ I = 265 \, A \][/tex]
[tex]\[ V = 22 \, V \][/tex]
2. Substitute the given values into the power formula:
[tex]\[ P = 265 \, A \times 22 \, V \][/tex]
3. Calculate the power:
[tex]\[ P = 5830 \, W \][/tex]
Therefore, the power consumed by the starter motor is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{5830 \, W} \][/tex]
