P= VI

P= (120V) (10A)

P= 1,200 W

Answer:

Power of oven, P = 1200 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage difference of a toaster oven, V = 120 Volts

Current flowing in the oven, I = 10 A

The relation between the potential difference, current and the power is given by:


P=V* I


P=120\ V* 10\ A

P = 1200 Watts

So, the power used by the oven is 1200 Watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
