An electric heater is an electric appliance that convert electrical energy in to heat. Working principle of an electric heater as per "Joule heating theory"
When electric current passes through a resistor that electric energy convert to heat (best and simple example is a spring type heating element).
When Voltage applied both end of a wire/spring type Resistance wire, voltage flow and this voltage help that wire to heat up and convert in to heat. A Resistance wire quality, length & thickness depend how many time heat spread and resist with that heat.
K.watt/ Watt = Applied voltage x Ampere.
Many quality and types of electric heating elements are there depend upon purpose of use. Few best heating elements known as Kanthal wire, Nicrome wire, Ureka wire, Super Kanthal, Silicon Carbide heating elements etc.

How many watts does an electric water heater use?
for a large one it is 4,000 watts and for a smaller one it is 1,000 watts
How many amperes use an electric heater?
The electric heater will have power rated in Watts. The Amps it will draw depends on the voltage system you are using. Can be calculated by formula I (Amps) = P / V In the USA with 110V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 110 Volts = 21.8 Amps In Australia with a 230 V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 230 Volts = 10.4 Amps
How many watts does a engine block heater use on a semi?
1300/1500 watts
How many watts does a 6.0 powerstroke block heater use?
It uses 1150 watts, or 10 amps.
How many watts does a small ceramic heater use?
A ceramic heater uses the same amount as a regular heater. Most heater use 1500 watts so in one hour a 1500 watt home heater will use 12.5 amp hours.
If electric heater works on 115 V and draws 3 A of current how much power does it use?
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E.
How many btu in a 220 heater?
First you need to find out how many amps the heater draws. Then use this formula: Volts (220) X Amps = Watts Then take: Watts x 3.41214 = Btu/hr
How many watts does a 2006 Ford freestar block heater use?
I ASSUME the block heater in a 2006 Ford Freestar would use ( 600 watts ) like my Ford Explorer 4.0 liter V6 engine does
How many watts does the block heater use for 7.3 liter diesel?
1150 watt, 10A
How many amps is block heater for 2500ram 1999?
Find the block heater and look for the nameplate on it. It will be in watts. Use the following equation to find the amperage that it draws. Amps = Watts/Volts. The voltage to use for the truck will be 12 volts.
What is least expensive to run a heater with 750 watts and 7.1 amps or 600 watts and 12.5 amps?
The heater with 750 watts and 7.1 amps is less expensive to run. This is because it has a lower amperage, meaning it requires less electric current to operate. The 600-watt heater with 12.5 amps requires a higher electric current, which could translate to higher electricity costs.
How many watts does a light use?
Electric lights that use from 0.02 watts to 50,000 watts have been manufactured. The CFLs, fluorescent tubes, and incandescent bulbs in your house probably operate in the range of 20-100 watts.
