What amp fuse does a kettle take?
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
What is ampere rating of an electrical kettle?
Divide its power rating by its voltage rating. These ratings are found on its nameplate. For example, a 3-kW kettle rated at 230 V will draw a current of approx. 13 A.
How many volts does a kettle take to boil?
It is not dependant on voltage. Kettles are made in various voltages. 240v in the UK, 110v in the USA and they even make 12v kettles for vehicles. The amount of work required to boil a kettle is measured in KiloWatt/ Hours. This value will vary depending on the amount of water in the kettle and the efficiency.
A kettle is connected to a 120v outlet with a resistance of 9.6 ohms what is the current required to operate the kettle?
The formula you are looking for is V = IR where V = Voltage I = Current R = Resistance With some formula manipulation and numbers plugged in you get I = 120V / 9.6Ω I = 12.5A The kettle would have 12.5 volts of current running through it.
What kinds of kettle corn are there?
Plain Kettle Corn Chocolate Kettle Corn Slimey Kettle Corn Boiling Kettle Water Corn
If you leave your kettle plugged into a wall receptacle does it waste electricity?
No as the circuit is broken so no electricity can flow through the ciircuit . <<>> Most small appliances these days have switches on them. The voltage potential is at the kettle but stops at the switch. As soon as the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed and the appliance operated. In the UK there is a switch combined with the receptacle. This switch is used to disconnect the voltage output to any device that is plugged into the outlet.

Can you plug a 125 volt kettle into a European 230 volt outlet?
120 volt used on a 240 volts systemThe 120 volt kettle run off of 240 volt will have a wattage output increase. Ohms law stated that current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.For example if an ordinary 1000 watt kettle's supply is 120 volts, the current of the kettle will be, I = W/E 1000/120 = 8.3 amps.The resistance of the kettle is R = W/I (squared) =1000/8.3 x 8.3 (69) = 14.5 ohms.Applying 240 volts on the same kettle whose resistance is 14.5 ohms results in a new kettle wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 240 x 240 (57600)/14.5 = 3972 watts.This is 2972 watts, almost 300%, higher than the manufacturer's designed safety rating.W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.
