Consider the problem of using a low voltage system to power a small cabin. Suppose a 12-V system powers a pair of 100-W light bulbs (wired in parallel).

A) What would be the filament resistance of a bulb designed to use 100 W when it receives 12 V?
B) What would be the current drawn by two such bulbs if each receives a full 12 V?
C) What gage wire should be used if it is the minimum size that will carry the current?
