The power of some electric appliances cannot be changed by the user. For instance an electric kettle usually has just one fixed "power" setting. However the power of some other appliances can be changed by using a power control knob or a set of push buttons. For instance my 230 Volt 50 Hz AC electric "power shower" (which is a water heater) has "High", "Medium" and "Low" power settings.
"High" uses about 10 KiloWatts, "Medium" uses about 2.65 KiloWatts and "Low" does not heat the water at all: using that you will have a shower at whatever temperature the incoming water comes in at from the main supply pipe to the house. If the question is really asking about how to control the amount of energy used ( = the power used over a given period of time) - which is what we have to pay for when we use an electrical appliance - the energy used can be controlled in two ways:
1) by switching it on and off and 2) by adjusting its thermostat, if it has one. 1) The less time it is switched on, the less energy it will take over a given period of time. The more time it is switched on, the more energy it will take over a given period of time. 2) The lower the temperature of the water is set, the less energy the water heater will take over a given period of time. The higher the water temperature is set, the more energy it will take over a given period of time.

How many amp circuit do you need for a 110 volt 1500 watt hot water heater?
For a 1500 watt hot water heater connected to a 110 volt power source, you would need a 13.6 amp circuit. It is recommended to use a 15 amp circuit to provide some safety margin.
Can a 120 volt water heater work over a 14 gauge wire at 300 feet?
A 120-volt water heater should not be run over a 14-gauge wire at 300 feet. The voltage drop over such a long distance would be significant, potentially causing the water heater to not function properly or even become a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a larger gauge wire or locate the heater closer to the power source.
Why do you only have 110 power to your electric water heater?
There are small water heaters that run on 110 volts. However if yours is a large 240 volt heater and you only have 110 volts going to it, then it is fused and one on the fuses has blown in the service panel.
Is it safe to hook 220 water heater up to 110?
No, it is not safe to hook up a 220 volt water heater to a 110 volt outlet. The water heater will not function properly and can cause damage to the unit and potentially create a safety hazard. It is important to always match the voltage requirements of the appliance with the power source.
A 50 gallon electric water heater that uses 2 elements is normally what voltage?
A 50 gallon electric water heater with 2 elements is typically connected to a 240 volt power supply. Each element is designed to run on 240 volts to efficiently heat the water in the tank.
Can i run a 240 volt water heater on 120 volt?
No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.

What does the PowerPoint Fuse control on a 2001 Ford Expedition?
The power point is the 12 volt socket to supply a 12 volt item with power
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...!
Q: A 75 ohm light and a 150 ohm heater are connected in parallel to a 150 volt power source what is the equivalent resistance of the lamp and the heater?
50
What happens when a 240 volt heater in plugged into a 110 outlet?
It'll only deliver 1/4 of the power.
