Will a 110 electric heater produce the same amount of heat as a 220 heater at 1000 watts?
Drone2008
The load is a resistive load and as such it is governed by Ohm's law. Current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. As the voltage goes down so does the current. 2200 watt heater at 220 volts = 10 amps. R = E/I = 220/10 = 22 ohms of resistance in the heater. Now take the 2200 watt heater and using the same formula and at 110 volts. I = E/R, Amps = Volts / Resistance. 110/22 = 5 amps. As you can see ohm's law holds true, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance and as the voltage goes down so does the current. To answer the question, yes a 220 volt heater will run on a 110 volt circuit but at a reduced wattage. W = A x V = 5 x 110 = 550 watts.

A 2200 watt heater at 220 volts would draw 1/2 the current of a 2200 watt heater at 110 volts.
<<>>
A 2200 watt heater at 220 volts is 22 ohms of resistance. Resistance would not change with the voltage, current would only be 5 amps (a resistor is a current limiter, it will only let more current through if you apply more voltage not less); but the wattage would only be 550 watts. This would only give you a fourth of the power this heater was designed for! The heater and the wires would have less heat.

How many watts are edenpure heaters?
Edenpure heaters produce 1500 watts. It is an electric heater, which uses quartz heating element to generate heat.
How does a resistor help an electric heater?
An electric heater is a resistor. It is a resistor with the right amount of resistance to take the required amount of power at the specified voltage. With a case to put it in and louvres to let the warm air circulate, that is a heater.Resistance in ohms is equal to the voltage-squared and divided by the watts.
How many amperes use an electric heater?
The electric heater will have power rated in Watts. The Amps it will draw depends on the voltage system you are using. Can be calculated by formula I (Amps) = P / V In the USA with 110V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 110 Volts = 21.8 Amps In Australia with a 230 V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 230 Volts = 10.4 Amps
How a electric heater works 2 references?
An electric heater is a resistor that dissipates electric power when a voltage is connected across it and a current flows through it. The amount of power in watts is equal to the voltage times the current in amps. Typical space heaters for use in the home are 1.5 kW to 3 kW to heat a single room.
How many watts does a small ceramic heater use?
A ceramic heater uses the same amount as a regular heater. Most heater use 1500 watts so in one hour a 1500 watt home heater will use 12.5 amp hours.

If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous

An electric generator produces 10 megawatts this amount is equal to?
10MW is equal to 10,000,000 watts or 13,404 HP
Is 1500 watts for electric heater a lot?
To put it into perspective a 1000 watt base board heater will heat a 10' x 10' = 100 sq ft room.
