Question

A television set draws 17 A in a conventional 120 V home. How much power does it use?

Answer 1

To calculate the power, we can use the formula below:

`P=I\cdot V`

Where P is the power (in Watt), I is the current (in Ampere) and V is the voltage (in Volt).

So, using I = 17 A and V = 120 V, we have:

`\begin{gathered} P=17\cdot120\\ \\ P=2040\text{ W} \end{gathered}`

Therefore the power being used is 2040 Watts.
