The voltage will be displayed on the manufactures label that should be found on the handle of the dryer. It will probably say 120 or 230 volts depending in what country the dryer was designed to be used in.

What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?
Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?
Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.
How many volts does a hair dryer use?
the amount of volts you plug it into, but in the hairdryer there may be regulators, i thik you may want watts, the amnount of energy actually used, hairdryers are usally between 1000-2500 watts(joules per seccond).
Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
How many watts does a hair-dryer use?
It depends on the model, if the hair dryer is a 1500 watt hair dryer, then it uses 1500 watts on high heat. If the hair dryer is a 2000 watt hair dryer, then it uses 2000 watts on high heat. Hair dryers come in all different size wattage, so it depends on the size wattage of the dryer. Most hair dryers are 1500 watts.
