A toaster draws 8 A of current with a voltage of 120 V?
The voltage is the main power of a toaster!! but if the current flow is low the heat of the toaster is less heat that you expect, the 8 A is right for your toaster!!!
When is resistance desirable?
resistance is useful when a plane is flying in the air, air resistance. it is also useful when a boat is floating on water, water resistance.
What is the resistance of a toaster if 120 V produces a current of 4.2 A?
Vaginal discharge drumstick
How many amperes will the toaster draw if it has a resistance of 24 ohms?
It depends on how many volts it has.
How do you apply Ohm's law to a toaster?
The wires in a toaster are composed of a metal that heats up when you pass a current through the wires. The voltage, current and resistance for the toaster obey Ohm's Law (Voltage = Current x Resistance). When the wires heat up this heat causes the bread to toast. The toast is not part of the circuit and is not involved in Ohm's Law.
Why are resistance materials used in toasters?
Because the main purpose of a toaster is to radiate heat. In order to generate heat from electric current, resistance is required in the circuit.
What is the purpose of a toaster?
a sandwich toaster is useful for making different healthy and delicious fillings, whereas the electric toaster just toasts.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
How can air Resistance be useful?
Try parachutes.
If you plug an electric toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet what will the outlet current in the toaster be?
It doesnt matter you will smoke it. The current in a resistive circuit is proportional to the voltage. If the voltage doubles and the resistance is the same (elements) the current will double and burn up both the elements and the toaster wiring. Look up "ohms law" for current voltage and resistance effects. Don't try it..
Is a toaster current or static electricity?
A toaster uses electrical current to generate heat and toast bread. So, the electricity used in a toaster is in the form of electrical current.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
