1. The student should measure somewhere between 10 and 13 volts across the light bulb.
2. The student should measure somewhere around 2 amps.
3. \(P\:=\:V\:x\:I\:=12\:x\:2\:=\:24W\:\)
4. The student should respond to how their calculation compared to the actual rating of the bulb.
5. The student should wire this up correctly.
  1. Black wire for hot wires all the way up to the gold screw on the light.
  2. White wire for neutral wires from the silver screw of the light back to ground.
