Question

What is the required voltage to plug in a dryer or stove?

a. 220 volts
b. 110 volts
c. 440 volts
d. 120 volts

Answer 1

The required voltage to plug in a dryer or stove is 220 volts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The required voltage to plug in a dryer or stove is 220 volts (option a).

Stoves and dryers typically require higher voltage to operate efficiently. They are designed to handle the higher power demand of heating elements and motors. In the United States, the standard voltage for these appliances is 220 volts, which provides enough power for them to function properly.

For example, a stove might have heating elements that need high voltage to generate enough heat to cook food quickly and evenly. Similarly, a dryer may have a powerful motor that requires higher voltage to spin the drum and dry clothes effectively.

Answer 2

a. 220 volts, or 240 volts

Step-by-step explanation:

A dryer or stove requires two hot wires (wires with power) with standard voltage from the box to power it. It differs from standard house wiring because it uses two hot lines rather than one hot and one neutral. Standard voltage in houses is 110 volts or 120 volts. So each line has 110 or 120 volts, and when combined they add up to 220 or 240 volts.
