If the two headlights of a car each dissipate 55W and each of them are connected to the two terminals of a 12V battery, draw an electric circuit diagram which can model this headlight circuit and find the resistance of each headlight when it is turned on. Find the total current coming from the battery. If the battery is rated at 65 A-hr, how long will the headlights continue to burn before the battery is dead? Show all calculations.
