AnswerThe current through a toaster connected to a 120-V source is 8.0 A. What power is given off by the toaster? p= 8.0 A : 120V (p=960 W Page 2 7. The resistance of an electric stove eleinent at operating temperature is 11 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps =)

Hello!!

For calculate the resistance of the toaster, we have to applicate formula:


\boxed{R= V^(2)/P}


\textbf{Being:}


\sqrt{}
P = Potency \ power = 1500 \ W


\sqrt{}
V = Voltage = 120 \ V


\sqrt{}
R = Resistance = \ ?


\text{Then let's \textbf{replace it according} we information:}


R = (120 \ V)^(2) / 1500 \ W


R = 9.6 \ \varOmega


\textbf{Result:}\\\text{The power of the toaster is \textbf{9.6 Ohms}}
