Question

An electric double oven can draw up to 34 amps at 240 volts when heating both ovens. What is the power demand, and how much energy is used if the oven operates at that level for 2 hours?

Answer 1

• 8.16 kW
• 16.32 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is the product of volts and amps:

P = VI = (240 V)(34 A) = 8160 W = 8.16 kW

Energy is the product of power and time:

(8.16 kW)(2 h) = 16.32 kWh
