What can an electric currents do?
They can kill you.Yes, electric currents can kill you, but only if it is very strong. Electric current can do many things. Electric current is run through wires mostly to push certain things. In a lightbulb, the current is restrained and the energy created by the current is turned into heat and light energy. In a fan, the electric current is used to turn the rotor which produces kinetic energy.Electric current is able to do tons of different things, and are used in most aspects of our daily life.AnswerThe original answer is quite wrong in suggesting that only a 'very strong' electric current can kill you! In fact a current of just 30-odd milliamperes will kill you. This is a very small current (e.g. a 60-W /230-V lamp draw a current of 260 mA!
What is a draw back for hydroelectric energy?
Hydroelectric power plants generate very little electric current for the cost of building, using, and maintaining the equipment used to produce it.
How many watts in a curling iron?
The current draw in amps mulitiplied by the voltage.
How much current does a 120v 1200w hair dryer draw?
10a
Why is ammeter connected in series with the load?
A ammeter will tell you how much current draw the load is drawing
How do you size the conductors feeding an electric crane?
Current draw and length.
Why will an electric drill operating on a very long extension cord not rotate as fast as one operated on a short cord?
It is the voltage drop from the undersized wire that is used in the extension cord. Under this condition you will find that the drill will start to become hot with the additional current that the drill is trying to draw to keep the motor turning. It could get to a point where the breaker will trip before the drill burns out.
Why does a toaster draw a lot of current?
all electric heaters draw a lot of current (voltage times current = watts [or power]) and a toaster heats bread (no it toasts Bread)
How many amps does a drill draw?
Full size drill can draw up to 20A. Depends on drill/battery/torque. You can wire inline fuse holder and step down fuse amperage until it blow. It won't be a peak but some averaged max current, see fuse characteristics.
How many amps does a cordless drill draw?
Full size drill can draw up to 20A. Depends on drill/battery/torque. You can wire inline fuse holder and step down fuse amperage until it blow. It won't be a peak but some averaged max current, see fuse characteristics.
What current will a 100w electric fan motor draw when you plug it into a 240v wall socket?
0.4166666
How do you draw a drill press?
with a pencil
Does a 5 hp electric motor draw less amperage if it is not doing 5 hp of work?
All motors draw less current when their load reduces.
What should be the power of the battery you use in an electric bell?
depends on the size of the coil used in the bell Current Draw Of The Bell.
How much electricity does a 20-year-old washer with an electric water heater and electric dryer use per month at 24 loads per month?
This depends upon how much current they draw. Older ones tend to be less efficient and draw more. You will have to check the nameplate to see what the current draw is and add them up. Then Ohm's law and the power conversion formula will have to be used.
An electric motor produces 2 horsepower at an efficiency of 80 percent what current does it draw from a 220 volt line?
P = iv
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
