Question

6.A Soldering Iron has a power of 25W. It uses the 230V mains supply. What is the current when it is switched on?

Answer 1

Power (P) in "watts" in a circuit is the product in multiplying the current (I) in "amperes" and voltage (V) in "volts".

P = I x V ; I = P / V

Substituting the given values,
I = (25 W) / (230 V) = 0.1087 amperes

Therefore, the current is approximately 0.1087 A.
