What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?

Power is calculated from volts time amps.
110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts.
Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.

Can you use a none dedicated outlet for a space heater for a short period of time?
Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
Will it hurt a 220 motor plugged into 110 outlet?
This is a really bad idea. The current will double and bad things can happen.
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?
No reason not to as long as the wall outlet is the correct voltage. most are designed to be plugged into a 110v outlet.

What causes too much current in a 220 outlet?
The fuse is what restricts how much current you can draw from an outlet. If you have the wrong fuse you can draw more power than intended from an outlet - but only if the appliance plugged in can use it up. To get too much power out of an outlet, with a suitable appliance plugged in, then you also have to have a higher voltage in the outlet. And for that to happen, something has to be seriously wrong higher upp in the supply chain.
Is it good to have an octopus connection?
Generally, no. We usually try to avoid having a lot of things plugged into one outlet, which is the usual meaning of "octopus connection" when we talk about things electrical. If we get a lot of stuff plugged into one outlet or a single outlet strip, we could approach (or exceed) the current rating on the outlet and end up tripping a circuit breaker. Less things plugged in is better.
Could you show me an electrical drawing of a circuit with GFCI protecting a switch?
GFCI's are not used to protect a switch they are used to protect an outlet where something is plugged in.

What temperature is hot for a 20 amp plug?
If you are asking this question I assume that the outlet/plug is hot enough to be noticeable and it is likely a problem you should address immediately. As a start remove the plug from outlet and see if the outlet is still hot. If so, turn off the breaker controlling the outlet. Remove outlet from box and see if there is evidence of a burned or loose wire. If there are no obvious problems and the outlet is still hot with nothing plugged in, call an electrician; or if you know how replace the outlet with a 20 amp outlet. Otherwise it could be a faulty plug which you should replace. The only other thing that might be wrong is a faulty breaker that isn't tripping on an over current condition and the connected device is drawing too much current.
How much power will a 230v adapter pull from a 120v outlet?
Power is multiplication of voltage and current. You need to know the load current drawing to establish the power. It is a bad idea to use 230 v adapter in 120 volts outlet
What is unidirectional current controller device?
A unidirectional current controller device is a type of electrical on/off switch. In order for an item to work that is plugged into a particular outlet, the switch must be in the on position. It is like having lamps plugged into outlets that are controlled by only one switch.
Which of these can be a hazard involving an electrical outlet?
to many electrical cords plugged into one outlet
Can an apartment size stove be pluged into any outlet?
Can an apt. stove be plugged into a outlet
