Question

While buying a hot plate you notice the resistance of the hot

plate is 22.02. When connected to a 120. V source, how
much current will the hot plate carry? How much power does
it consume?

Answer 1

Current = 5.45amps

Power = 654 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

E =120V

I =?

R = 22.02 Ohms

I= E/R

I= 120/22.02

I = 5.45AmPs

P = ? P= E x R

E = 120V P= 120x5.45

I = 5.45 AmPs P= 654W
