What is ampere rating of an electrical kettle?
Divide its power rating by its voltage rating. These ratings are found on its nameplate. For example, a 3-kW kettle rated at 230 V will draw a current of approx. 13 A.
Which uses more electrical current a 13A kettle or a 13A iron?
An iron is going to use more electrical current than a kettle. The iron needs to be plugged in to stay hot. The kettle is usually unplugged after the contents reach the right temperature. <<>> The electric current drawn is the same for both appliances, 13 amps if they are both 13-amp devices. However an iron is usually a lower-power device of about 1 kW that would draw 4 amps on a 240 v supply, and its thermostat would operate to control the current so that it doesn't overheat. Some kettles have a 3-kW element which would draw 13 amps, but kettles are used only now and then. So both devices do not use a lot of energy.
Can the current in a electrical circuit be increased by bulbs?
Yes. In normal house wiring, every time you plug in any lamp or appliance, you will increase the amount of current ("amperes" or just "amps") that you draw. The circuit breakers or fuses in your house's electrical box are there to keep you from plugging so many things in that the wire gets hot enough to cause a fire. Just to be clear however, the light bulbs do not create current. They pull current through themselves. Bulbs (and all other electrical devices) pull electrical current in the same way that opening the water valve on your sink pulls a flow of current of water. Your house's electrical service can be thought of as a water hose with the end plugged up. Whenever you let a little of the water flow out (i.e. ... turn on a light bulb) you create a current of water (an electrical current in the case of our light bulb).
Can a ground leakage damage electrical appliances?
A ground leakage can damage electrical appliances. When there is a current leakage, it causes the appliance to draw more current through thecircuit, hence produces excess heat. This can damage the appliances.
How much electricity does an average bathroom fan use compared to a dehumidifier?
A dehumidifier is pretty much the same device as an air conditioner. It has a compressor which uses freon to create a cold surface for water to condense on. The fan only is a simple fan that moves air. The fan is the smallest electrical draw as opposed to the dehumidifier. The fan can have a current draw of as little as 1/10 of an amp when the dehumidifier can have a current draw as much as 15 amps when the compressor is running.

How are windmills used in 1800s?
to draw up water from underground aquifers
What is the device for amps?
An electrical device may draw amps, but there is not a device that equates to amps. Amperes are the measure of current flow in a circuit.
If two electrical loads are connected in parallel with each other and each load draw 6 amps what is the current of the circuit?
12 Amperes is.
How might you Draw an analogy between the nerves in the human body and electrical wires?
nerves send a message to the brain :: electrical wires send a current to whatever they are hooked up too. A better Answer: Nerves and electrical wire both transmit electricity.

Does a lamp plugged in but not on draw electrical current?
No, a lamp plugged in but switched off does not draw electrical current. The switch on the lamp has the electrical circuit in the open position. In open circuits no current will flow. As soon as you close the circuit the lamp will start using power at a rate that is the wattage of the bulb. It is this wattage that you pay your utility company to supply.
How many watt is a fridge?
That depends on the current draw of the compressor... Look for the stamped metal plate that has the model #. It should tell you the basics.Remember the electrical formula:Volts * Amps = Watts.
When testing for current draw your digital multimeter should be set on?
When testing the current draw your digital multimeter should be set on the current.
