Answer: The current use by the camcorder is of 2.42 amperes.
Explanation:
Power rating of the camcorder,P = 17 watt
The voltage from the battery,V = 7 volts
[tex]Power=Voltage\times Current[/tex]
[tex]17 watts=7 volts\times I[/tex]
[tex]I=\frac{17 watts}{7 Volts}=2.42 Ampere[/tex]
The current use by the camcorder is of 2.42 Amperes.
