Given:

The power take by the dryer is

$\begin{gathered} P=4\text{ kW} \\ P=4000\text{ W} \end{gathered}$

The dryer is connected to source of

$V=220\text{ V}$

Required: the current use by the dryer

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that power taken by any appliance is given by

here, V is the voltage of the source and I is the current drawn by the electric appliance.

Plugging all the values in the above formula, we get

$\begin{gathered} 4000\text{ W}=220\text{ V}I \\ I=\frac{4000\text{ W}}{220\text{ V}} \\ I=18.18\text{ A} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the current used by the dryer is

$18.18\text{ A}$
