If a toaster is plugged into a 110 volt outlet what is its resistance if the toaster draws 10 amps?

I believe its like this but don't take my word for granted: R (resistance) = V (voltage) / I (amperes) The formula is R = V/I R = 110V / 10A R = ? R = 110/10 = 11 R = 11Ω Ω= omhs Hope this helped but as I said I'm not completely sure

The wiring in the wall of your house to and from an outlet has a total resistance of typically 0.12 ohms suppose a device plugged into a 120 V outlet draws 10 A of current What is the voltage drop?
Assume the supply as DC (Only resistance given) Voltage drop = 10X10X0.12 = 12V (approx)
What consumes more power a light bulb or toaster?
By far a toaster draws more current than a light bulb.
What size resistor do you need to power a 14 volt bulb from a 120 outlet?
To find the resistance necessary, one would need to know how much current the bulb draws. If one knows the current the bulb draws, then one would subtract the 14 volts from 120 volts then divide that by the current the bulb draws and one will find the resistance needed. Once this has been done, one would need to multiply the current drawn by the voltage drop to get the wattage rating necessary. Another important detail to note is that the power dissipated by the resistor will be much greater than the power consumed by the bulb itself. Finally if the bulb burns out the voltage across the contacts will be 120V. I would not recommend using this method to drop the voltage for the bulb.
How does the loading effect of an ammeter in a low resistance circuit compare to the loading effect in a high resistance circuit?
The voltmeter has an internal resistance, which should be as high as possible. As this resistance draws current from the circuit under test, it will affect circuit operation. This is more pronounced in a high impedance circuit because the current drawn flows through higher resistances.
An electric heater draws a current of 5 amps and its element has resistance of 50 ohms - if it's switched on for 5 minutes calculate the energy in kilo joule?

An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
A microwave oven has a resistance of 24 ohms It draws 5 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance V = 5 x 24 = 120 V.
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!!!
What is the resistance of a hair dryer that draws 12A when plugged into a 220V line?
Your hair dryer has a resistance of 220/12 = Ohms. (I'm sure you can do the math.)
What consumes more power a light bulb or toaster?
By far a toaster draws more current than a light bulb.
Do they make 20 amp outlet?
yes they do check lowes A 20 amp breaker is normally used in a kitchen or any where a item such as a A/C unit is going to be installed, something that draws alot of power or has heat involved with it (toaster oven ect.)
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 8 ohms It draws 30 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) * VoltagePower = 22Amps * 240 VoltsPower = 5,280 Watts5280
Do non-electronic toasters draw power when not in use?
yes they do, in fact the toaster draws power more when it is not in use
What does the watts rating on a stereo speaker mean?
how much energy it draws from your outlet or car battery.
A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?
The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.
What is the resistance in a discman if it is connected to an 8.6V battery and draws a current of 0.9 Amperes?
I have no idea
