Answer:

  • 720 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Voltage (V) = 120 V
  • Current (I) = 6A

To Find:

  • Power (P)

Solution:

We know that electrical power is product of Voltage and current. So, Power formula is given by:


\\ \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \underline{\boxed{\sf{ Power = Voltage * Current}}} \\ \\

On substituting the required values, we get:


~~~\dashrightarrow~~~~ Power = 120 V × 6 A


~~~\dashrightarrow~~~~Power = 720 watts

Hence,

  • Power rating is 720 Watts
