Question

A 600 W electric heater is connected to a 120 V source. Calculate its current.

Answer 1

Question :-

• A 600 Watt electric heater is connected to a 120 Volt source . Calculate its Current .

Answer :-

• Current is 5 Ampere .

Explanation :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Power is 600 Watt , Voltage is given as 120 Volt . And, we have been asked to calculate the Current .

Now, for calculating the Current , we will use the Formula :-

`\bigstar \: \: \boxed{ \sf{ \: Current \: \: = \: \: ( \: Power \: )/(Voltage) \: }} \\`

Therefore, by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-

`\dag \: \: \: \sf {Current \: \: = \: \: (\: Power \:)/(Voltage)} \\`

`\longmapsto \: \: \sf {Current \: \: = \: \: \frac {\: 600 \:}{120}}`

`\longmapsto \: \: \bf {Current \: \: = \: \: 5 \: Ampere}`

Hence :-

• Current = 5 Ampere .
