An electric clothes dryer draws 22 A of current from a 240 V wall outlet How much power in watts does it use?
An electric clothes dryer demands 22A from a 240V outlet at approximately 90% Power Factor. The power demand on the outlet should be about 240V x 22A x 0.9 = 4.75 kW. The active components in an electric clothes dryer are the heating element (100% PF) and the electric motor that turns the tumbler (70-80% PF). The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. (W is watts, I is current in amps, E is volts)
An electric clothes dryer draws 15 A of current from a 240-V wall outlet How much power in watts does it use?
watts = volts X amps, so: 15A X 240V = 3600 watts
An electric iron always draws a current of 3.4 amp from the 220v supply line what current will this electric iron draws when connected to 110v supply line?
1.7amp
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
Does an electric heater use less kwh on lower setting?
Yes. It draws less current.
If electric heater works on 115 V and draws 3 A of current how much power does it use?
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E.
What is the resistance of a clothes iron that draws a current of 12A at 120V?
By Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance R = V / I = 120 / 12 = 10 Ohms
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 8 ohms It draws 30 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) * VoltagePower = 22Amps * 240 VoltsPower = 5,280 Watts5280
An electric motor draws a current of 11.5 A in a 240 V circuit What is the power of this motor in W?
11.5 x 240 = 2760W motor.
An electric lamp is rated at 60W the current it draws from a 230 V supply is?
P=VI so I=P/V I= 60/230 I=0.261 A
A microwave oven has a resistance of 24 ohms It draws 5 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance V = 5 x 24 = 120 V.
The wiring in the wall of your house to and from an outlet has a total resistance of typically 0.12 ohms suppose a device plugged into a 120 V outlet draws 10 A of current What is the voltage drop?
Assume the supply as DC (Only resistance given) Voltage drop = 10X10X0.12 = 12V (approx)
