What is the voltage of a small electric heater if the heater is drawing 12 amperes and has a resistance of 10 ohms?
Voltage is current times resistance, 1.2 x 110 = 132 volts.
Does the resistance of heater coil remains same when current flows through it?
Typically resistance rises with temperature.
What does high or low voltage do to the capacity of an electric heater?
Yes, voltage effects the output of electric heaters. The wattage output rating of the heater will not be reached due to the lower applied voltage. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 277 volts, the current is I = W/E 5000/277 = 18 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) = 5000/18 x 18 (324) = 15.43 ohms. Applying 220 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 15.43 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 220 x 220 (48400)/15.43 = 3137 watts. W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.
How do you calculate the resistance of a heater element that's uses 220v and draws 11amps?
The equation you are looking for is R = E/I.
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.
Does an electric motor have different resistance than an electric heater?
Yes it would be unlikely an electric motor coincidentally exactly matched the resistance of an electric heater.
Where is the heater resistor on a 2003 Chevy Cavalier?
There are heater-resistance wires in the glass of the back windshield.
What is the voltage of a small electric heater if the heater is drawing 12 amperes and has a resistance of 10 ohms?
Voltage is current times resistance, 1.2 x 110 = 132 volts.
How is resistance used in a space heater?
In an electrical space heater, electrical current dissipates energy into heat, and the heat radiates from the element. In a fuel powered space heater, an orifice throttles the fuel feed (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate. In a steam powered space heater, an orifice throttles the steam (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate.
Does the resistance of heater coil remains same when current flows through it?
Typically resistance rises with temperature.

What is stepped resistor?
The resistance that controls a heater motor in the electric system .
2004 e320 Mercedes Benz why is your heater bowing cold air?
check the heater control valve it should be 10 ohms of resistance
How much current will an electric heater draw from a 110-volt line if the resistance of the heater when hot is 26.7 ohm?
4.12A. V=IR
Why is heater blower on citroen dispatch intermitent?
Check the back of the heater switch. The electrical plug may be having an melt down from resistance.
A ohm light and a 150 ohm heater are connected in parallel to a 150 volt power source. what is the total resistance of the lamp and the heater?
50 ohms...!
Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?
The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.
