Answer:

I = 9.17 A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Power of a stove is 2.2 kW

Voltage on which it operates is 240 V

Let us assume that it is required to find the current flowing in the circuit. Electric power is given by :


P=IV\\\\I=(P)/(V)\\\\I=(2.2* 10^3)/(240)\\\\I=9.17\ A

So, the current in the stove burner is 9.17 A.
