That depends entirely on the hair dryer; different models have different energy consumption values.
Read the label and if necessary, use the formula:
Amps * Volts = Watts
If you know any two of the values, you can calculate the third (remember basic algebra?)
For calculation purposes, figure that the voltage in the United States is about 117 to 120.
Take the amount of watts the drier demands then divide by 120 volts. You will have your answer, most people call 120 110 volts and 240 220 volts. If you were going the other way to figure out the max amount of watts a 15 amp breaker could take would be by taking 120 volts multiplied by 15 amps equals 1800 watts max.
Not the same as a stove or drier which have motors, so the reverse would be the answer meaning for the stove it is normal to have a 40 amp breaker but take 6500 watts and divide by 240 volts equals 27 amps multiplied by the heat ratio it has which is 1.25 brings it up to 33 which is a safety margin.
power (watts) = current (amps) x voltage (volts), so
current = power / voltage
current = 1200 / 120 = 10 amps

Roughtly speaking, the power used is the product of the voltage and the current - the product of volts x amperes. Answer is in watts. (To be precise, in the case of AC, when current and voltage are not exactly in phase, there may be a "power factor" involved - but in practice, this power factor is often close to 1.)
A typical hairdryer uses around 10-15 amps of electric current. However, it's always important to check the specific amperage rating on the hairdryer itself to be sure.
Use the Power Law to work out the answer.
Power (watts) = volts x amps
The formula that you are looking for is W = I x E, Watts = Amps x Volts.

Why does my 1875 watts hairdryer keep blowing out the lights?
Your hairdryer may be drawing too much power for the circuit, causing it to overload and trip the circuit breaker. Consider using the hairdryer on a different circuit or using a lower wattage hairdryer to prevent the lights from blowing out.
How many output amps is a 600kva generator at 240v?
To calculate the output amps of a 600kVA generator at 240V, you would use the formula Amps = kVA / Volts. In this case, it would be 600kVA / 240V = 2500 amps.
How many amps equal 1800 watts at 110 volts?
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts. Plugging in the values, you get Amps = 1800 Watts / 110 Volts ≈ 16.36 Amps.
How many amps equal 3000 watts at 460 voltage?
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts x Amps. Rearranging it, we get Amps = Watts / Volts. Plugging in the values for 3000 Watts and 460 Volts, we get: Amps = 3000 / 460 = 6.52 amps.
How many amps is 145VA?
To calculate amps from VA, you can use the formula: Amps = VA / Volts. Assuming the standard voltage in residential settings is 120V, then 145VA / 120V = 1.21A. Therefore, 145VA is approximately equal to 1.21 amps.
What current flows through a 920 watt hairdryer if the voltage is 230 volts?
4 amps
How many amps does ATM use?
10 amps
Can you use your hairdryer in Egypt?
Of course.
Can you use a hairdryer on a mannequin?

Can you use your English hairdryer in the US?
Yes, you can use an English hairdryer in the US as long as it is compatible with the US voltage. You will need a plug adapter or a voltage converter to ensure safe use.
How many amps does a sound system use?
amps like.. amplifiers? it depends on how many speakers you have. or amps like.. current draw? again. depends on your power needs, your power amps... ect
How much energy does a hairdryer use?
francesmcat@yahoo.com
What types of energy does a hairdryer use?
The hairdryer usually use the electrical energy. When heated, the hairdryer will convert electrical energy to heat energy which can then be used for hair drying.
How many amps in 120volts and 500ohms?
You use Ohm's Law to make your calculation. Volts = Amps x Resistance Amps = Volts / Resistance
