Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) * Voltage
Power = 22Amps * 240 Volts
Power = 5,280 Watts

∙ 13y agoOhm's Law: Voltage = resistance times current
16 ohms times 15 amperes = 240 volts.

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.
Is high electrical resistance good or bad?
electrical resistance is when something resists the electrical current .. eg rubber hope it helped
What is current controlled current sources?
A unidirectional current controller device is a type of electrical on/off switch. In order for an item to work that is plugged into a particular outlet, the switch must be in the on position. It is like having lamps plugged into outlets that are controlled by only one switch.
What is electric ghost power?
This is also known as phantom power or vampire power. Even though an electric device is turned off, it is still drawing a small amount of power. A television, for example, continues to draw power so that it can sense the remote control to turn it on, or to keep the time. Other examples are chargers left plugged in for telephones, video games, etc.
Why do signs say Danger High Voltage instead of Danger High current?
Electricity is transferred with high voltage and low current to reduce transmission loss ( I2R , where R= resistance of wire). As high voltage is present in transmission lines, Danger-high voltage is written.
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 a wall outlet control current voltage or resistance?
None of the above. It is only a place to connect to the power grid. There is a bit more to the answer than this, but here it is. There is voltage at the outlet. Voltage is the ability to move electrons (current). What you plug in has "resistance" to it. It (the appliance) is designed to work at that voltage, so it has an amount of "resistance" associated with it owing to its construction. The combination of the voltage present and the "resistance" plugged into the voltage source will determine the amount of current that will be drawn. The fundamental relationship between voltage, resistance and current is that voltage (which is electromotive force and will cause current to flow if given a complete circuit to work through) equals current (the actual moving electrons, or the amount of moving electrons) times resistance (the limiting factor in things - the nature of the material in the circuit and the configuration of the material as regards how well it will conduct electric current that is changing direction, is alternating). Breakers or fuses in the distribution panel provide a current limiting safety feature. But the electrical outlet itself controls nothing that is plugged into it. In the power grid, the voltage is AC (alternating current), and a lot of the things we plug in are inductive (like electric motors) and not "resistive" as stated above. The term "resistive" was used to convey basic meaning. This is a basic question. Don't trash this answer with a lot of highly technical mumbo jumbo. Save that for the engineering section. See you there.

A kettle is connected to a 120v outlet with a resistance of 9.6 ohms what is the current required to operate the kettle?
The formula you are looking for is V = IR where V = Voltage I = Current R = Resistance With some formula manipulation and numbers plugged in you get I = 120V / 9.6Ω I = 12.5A The kettle would have 12.5 volts of current running through it.
Will an electric dryer shock if it is plugged into an electric stove outlet?
You bet it will.
What type of energy provided by the lamp helps Jan read?
Electromagnetic energy, electrical lighting is one of the many ways electrical energy is used. Electric current flows in these devices when they are connected to batteries or plugged into an electric outlet. An electric device uses the electrical energy provided by the current flowing in the device.
What is method for converting dc into ac supply?
An 'inverter' takes direct current (DC) input from a battery and outputs alternating current (AC). This means that an electric drill that should be plugged into the mains, can be run from the inverter.
The light bulb in your lamp has burned out so you replace it with a light bulb with 130 ohms that is plugged into a 100V outlet What is the current flowing through the bulb?
Current = (voltage) / (resistance) = 100/130 = 0.769 A = 769 milliamperes (rounded)
Is it dangerous to wash a plugged in electric sharpener?

How many watts of power does does an electric drill use when it is plugged into 120 volts and draws 10 amps?
Power = Volts * current [p = E*I]; 120volts*10amps = 1200watts
