If an LED is switched off half the time, only half as much current will flow through it during a given time compared to the current that would have flowed had the LED been on the entire time. Since the equations for power dissipated through a resistance state that P = IV and P = 1²R, how much power is used by the LED when cycling on and off for equal time intervals, compared to what would have been used if it remained on continuously? You may assume the resistance of the LED and the applied voltage remain constant. O It uses 1/16 the power of a continuously lit LED. O It uses 1/4 the power of a continuously lit LED. O It uses twice the power of a continuously lit LED. O It uses 1/2 the power of a continuously lit LED.arrow_forward
