Measure the width and thickness of the strip. Multiply them together to find the cross-section area, and treat it as normal wire of the same cross-section area.
For example, 10 mm x 1 mm strip would be used like 10 sq. mm cable.

Is a 60 amp breaker correct for a 10 kw 220 heat strip?
10 kW at 220v will use 45.45 Amps. I'd recommend a 60A circuit, with a 60A breaker, but the heater or electric furnace should have "maximum fuse amps" rated on its nameplate. Above all, neverconnect wiring to a breaker that is rated higher than the maximum current capacity of the wire. In the case of 60A, use #6 AWG wire.The HVAC Veteran
How are electromagnets used in toasters?
The latch release in the toaster is held shut by an electromagnet. In modern toasters this is achieved by driving the electromagnet with a timing circuit . The timing circuit stays live until a capacitor reaches maximum charge, and then as the current dies, the magnetic field dies and the electromagnet releases the toast carriage, which is returned by a spring to eject the toast. In older toasters, the electromagnet current was released by the motion of a bimetallic strip breaking the current.
How do you calculate amp draw if you have a 25KW strip heater?
Divide 25,000 by the supply voltage to get the current.

Does strip mining involve carrying minerals up through shafts dug in the ground?
no
How do you drop 24dc to 12 dc i want to install a strip of flexible LED lights in a vending machine and can only find them in 12v dc but only have a 24v dc power supply on the machine?
Buy two strips and install them in series. Measure the current through one strip at 12 volts. Divide 12 by that current to get ohms. Install a resistor of that resistance in series with the strip. Calculate the required power by multiplying 12 by the current, and make sure the resistor can handle that amount of power.
Why put earthed strip between a circuit and the circuit board?
An earthed strip is a low resistance strip. as we know that a current always flows along a path which is having the least resistance.Whenever a fault current flows through the circuit and a possiblity is there that it may damage the ckt & ckt board the earth strip allows the fault current to flow through it and ground it. thereby preventing the damage.
A device that contains a thin strip of metal that will melt if there is too much current through it?
A fuse has a metal strip that melts and opens a circuit if the current becomes too great.
How do I calculate kg per m for length for copper strip?
Measure the mass (in kilograms) and length (in metres) of the strip. Divide the first by the other.
How do you strip hydrogen from water?
Electrolysis - pass electric current through it
If I want to know the amperage for each outlet on a power strip can I simply divide the total amps by the number of outlets?
If you want to know the amperage for each outlet on a power strip then check the nameplate current on the device that is plugged into that outlet on the power strip. Power strips usually have their own breaker that will trip at 15 amps. If you load the strip to its maximum capacity there is a good chance that it will trip before the distribution circuit breaker will trip. You can not simply divide the total amps by the number of outlets as each device will have a different amperage and depending on where it is plugged into the strip these amperage's in a set position will change.
Where do you normally use a reinforced wide strip concrete foundation?
A reinforced wide strip concrete foundation is used if the soil is soft or is of a low bearing capacity. This would not work for heavy or clumpy soil.
