Question

A 1,200-watt water heater is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 1.5 hours. How much current runs through the vacuum?

0.10 amps
10 amps
80 amps
180 amps

Answer 1

1200 watts / 120 volts =10 amps begins to flow as soon as you plug it in.

Answer 2

Answer: The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.

Explanation;

Power of the water heater = 1,200 watts

Voltage applied to the water heater = 120 V

Duration of the use of water heater = 1.5 seconds

`Current=(Power)/(Voltage)=(1,200 W)/(120 V)=10 ampere`

The current of value 10 ampere runs through the vacuum.
