This may vary by make and model of toaster and the intended operating voltage.
For a North American toaster designed to operate on a 15 ampere outlet at 120 volts RMS, the hot resistance cannot be any less than 8 ohms. By their nature, heating elements have a lower resistance when cold, so an 8 ohm element needs to be used on a circuit that is protected by a thermal time-delay circuit breaker; an ordinary fuse is likely to burn out during the several seconds it takes for the element to heat up and the current to reach the steady-state "hot" current. Due to the uncertainty of the circuit protection scheme, manufacturers will limit the current, and thus the power level of appliances such as toasters to something less than the maximum theoretical capacity of the circuit. For example, a toaster with an 8 ohm steady state hot resistance will draw 1800 watts. More realistically, the device will be designed to draw 1200 watts, and thus its hot resistance will be 12 ohms.

How many amperes will the toaster draw if it has a resistance of 24 ohms?
It depends on how many volts it has.
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!!!
How many ohms is 366.3 kilohms?
That is 366,300 ohms.
How many ohms in a terra ohm?
One tera means 1012. So 1 Teraohm = 1012 ohms. One trillion ohms
You have 240 volts20 amperes and how many ohms?
R = U / I = 240 / 20 = 12 Ohms.
How many amperes will the toaster draw if it has a resistance of 24 ohms?
It depends on how many volts it has.
If a heating element has a resistance of 15 ohms and can safely handle 10 amps of current ho much maximum voltage can it use before it burns out?

Is a toaster convection or conduction?
Toasters have aluminum on the outside and heating bulbs on the inside. The heating bulbs heat up inside the body and warm the bread at high temperatures. The bread then becomes crisp and springs up out of the toaster.
Wire coild inside an electric toaster gets hot when a current flows through it the property of this wire to produce lots of heat from electricity is measured in?
ohms is ohms not used to measure resistance in the wire?
At 120 vac what is the amp draw of total resistance series circuit with 5 ohms 10 ohms 20 ohms?
The net effective resistance of 5 ohms, 10 ohms, and 20 ohms in series is 35 ohms.The current through the net effective resistance is [ I = E/R ] = 120/35 = 3.429 Amp. (rounded)Note: If you try this at home, be aware that these resistors will dissipatethe 5 ohm . . . 58.8 wattsthe 10 ohm . . . 117.6 wattsthe 20 ohm . . . 235 watts .These are no ordinary resistors, such as hang on the wall in plastic bags at Radio Shack.These would have to be 'power' resistors ... like heating coils in a toaster or hair-dryer.
Why does a hairdryer on the 240 volt setting work in the US and does this mean the switch to change the voltage is faulty and it's not really operating on 240 volts?
Hair dryers usually have a HIGH and a LOW setting. The HIGH heating element is about 8 ohms. The LOW heating element is about 32 ohms. voltage (squared) / resistance = power (watts) 120*120 / 8 = 1800 watts ( HIGH ) 120*120 / 32 = 450 watts ( LOW ) When the voltage switch is set to 240 volts, ALL it does is limit the HIGH/LOW switch to the LOW setting. 240*240 / 32 = 1800 watts ( LOW ) 240*240 / 8 = 7200 watts ( HIGH ) (the heating element would burn out)
How many ohms is 1k?
1000 ohms.
An electric heating element has a resistance of 16ohm and is connected to a voltage of 120v How much current will flow in the circuit?
Ohms law states that E=I * R, or voltage equals current times resistance. Therefore current equals voltage divided by resistance. 120v divided by 16 ohms equals 7.5 amps.
If you plug an electric toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet what will the outlet current in the toaster be?
It doesnt matter you will smoke it. The current in a resistive circuit is proportional to the voltage. If the voltage doubles and the resistance is the same (elements) the current will double and burn up both the elements and the toaster wiring. Look up "ohms law" for current voltage and resistance effects. Don't try it..
