Question

An electrical space heater has a resistance of 69 Ω and draws 2.92 A of current. How much power does it use?

Answer 1

588.32 watts

Explanation:

Given:

Resistance (R) = 69 Ω

Current (I) = 2.92 A

We can calculate the power as follows:

`\begin{gathered} P=I^2\cdot R \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ P=2.92^2\cdot69 \\ \\ P=588.32\text{ W} \end{gathered}`

The power used is 588.32 watts
