In a home that has 120 v service heating is provided by electric resistance heat with an overall resistance of 40 ohms hom much heating power will the electric resistance heater generate?
The formula you are looking for is W = E(squared)/R, W = Voltage (squared) divided by Resistance.
Is a electrical or natural gas heater for my home more efficient?
Gas heaters are much more efficient. Electric resistance heaters are, by nature, hideously inefficient.
How does a hydronic heater work?
A hydronic heater works by using a boiler system to heat the water and then is pumped throughout the house in order to heat the specific area of a home.
Why voltage is low while using heater as home appliance?
The current is proportionately high as heater requires current to heat the filament.The voltage is deliberately low to sustain the safe power consumption limits.
What precautions can be taken with home heating elements in preventing CO build-up?
Not using a gas oven or stove to heat the home; not burning charcoal indoors; making sure there is good ventilation if using a kerosene heater indoors.
What is the resistance of a 10W bulb?
If you're using it in your home with a voltage supply of 230V [Basically speaking], the resistance would be around 5290Ω. The following equations can help you: P=V*I {Where P is the power, V is the voltage and I is the current} V=I*R {Where R is the resistance}
What is some good home workout equipment?
I like to work on core strengthening and stretching when at home. I primarily use resistance bands and a medicine ball. Using the resistance bands, I do a lot of rowing type exercises, sit ups holding the medicine ball etc.

What causes heating effect when current flows?
The resistance factors to the current flow in the circuit is what causes the heating effect in a circuit. This resistance usually comes from the load that is connected to the circuit. For example a baseboard heater is a completely resistive load and the result of the heating of the device can be used to heat a room in the home.
