Should a clothes dryer be unplugged when not in use?
It is not necessary, there is no power consumption when the dryer is not in operation.
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)
Would the relative size of a current passing through a clothes iron and a electric shaver be low?
You can generalize that any device that produces heatuses a larger electric current (and more electric power).Some examples are: Toaster, hair dryer, hair curler, clothes iron.The iron operates on more current, and uses more power, than the shaver.
Is it possible to run a dryer to do laundry off a car battery with no problem?
No, the battery connected to an inverter would not have near enough power to run a dryer.
What is load current?
It is a the current drawn by the application that is connected to the power source
How much power in watts does an electric clothes dryer use if it draws 20 amps of current from a 240 volt wall outlet?
4800 watts because watts = volts x amps.
Describe the energy conversions taking place of a clothes dryer?
its a kind of electric machine it works by electric power
How can you get a 20 foot long or longer 3 prong power cord for your clothes dryer?
As far as I know, you can't. It would be safer to have a new outlet installed closer to the dryer.
What is the function of the live?
A 'live' or 'hot' wire is a wire that is connected to a power source. This wire supplies voltage to a load ( light bulb, hair dryer, etc.). When the load is also connected a neutral or another live wire this becomes a path for the flow of current (amps) known as a circuit.
Is the power cord for a stove the same as one for a clothes dryer that takes 30 amps?
No. -They are different amperages and different plugs. You can NOT swap them.
Would a multimeter connected in series as part of the circuit measure current or power consumption or voltage or wattage?
Current.
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
