N electric clothes dryer draws 22 A of current from a 240V wall outlet How much power in watts does it use?
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. Watts = Amps x Volts. W = 18 x 240 = 4320. Your dryer is rated at 4320 watts.
However, just because your 240 volt outlet is rated at 18 amps does not mean that is what your appliance will draw.
If the appliance is listed (by the manufacturer) as 1500 watts, then 1500 / 240 = 6.25, would mean that it will draw 6.25 amps at 240 volts.
Note:
Within the United States, most regular size electric dryers require a 240 volt, 30 amp power source. In addition to the electric heating element, there is the drum electric motor that must be factored in determining the wattage rating. That is the reason that it is best to use the manufacturer's nameplate rating for the answer to this question.
What else can I help you with?
An electric clothes dryer draws 22 A of current from a 240 V wall outlet How much power in watts does it use?
An electric clothes dryer demands 22A from a 240V outlet at approximately 90% Power Factor. The power demand on the outlet should be about 240V x 22A x 0.9 = 4.75 kW. The active components in an electric clothes dryer are the heating element (100% PF) and the electric motor that turns the tumbler (70-80% PF). The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. (W is watts, I is current in amps, E is volts)
How much current is drawn when an appliance rated at 795 W is plugged into a 120 V wall outlet?
To find the current drawn, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Plugging in the values, I = 795 W / 120 V = 6.625 A. Therefore, the appliance draws approximately 6.625 A of current when plugged into a 120 V outlet.
Does increasing the voltage to an electric heater increase the amperage it draws?
It will increase the current since the water heater is made of a heating element and which is resistive in nature. Ohms law states that V=IR where V is the voltage, I the current and R the resistance. Now the resistance will always remain constant. Thus, when the voltage is increased, the current will also increase.
What home appliance draws the most amps?
A clothes dryer typically draws the most amps among common home appliances, with an average of around 20 amps.
What size resistor do you need to power a 14 volt bulb from a 120 outlet?
To find the resistance necessary, one would need to know how much current the bulb draws. If one knows the current the bulb draws, then one would subtract the 14 volts from 120 volts then divide that by the current the bulb draws and one will find the resistance needed. Once this has been done, one would need to multiply the current drawn by the voltage drop to get the wattage rating necessary. Another important detail to note is that the power dissipated by the resistor will be much greater than the power consumed by the bulb itself. Finally if the bulb burns out the voltage across the contacts will be 120V. I would not recommend using this method to drop the voltage for the bulb.
How much power in watts does an electric clothes dryer use if it draws 20 amps of current from a 240 volt wall outlet?
4800 watts because watts = volts x amps.
An electric clothes dryer draws 15 A of current from a 240-V wall outlet How much power in watts does it use?
watts = volts X amps, so: 15A X 240V = 3600 watts
An electric iron always draws a current of 3.4 amp from the 220v supply line what current will this electric iron draws when connected to 110v supply line?
1.7amp
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.

If electric heater works on 115 V and draws 3 A of current how much power does it use?
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E.
Why does electric bulb become dim when electric heater in parallel circuit is switched on?
The electric heater draws some of the electrical current in the circuit, which reduces the current available for the electric bulb. This leads to a decrease in the brightness of the bulb as it is receiving less power.
What is the resistance of a clothes iron that draws a current of 12A at 120V?
By Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance R = V / I = 120 / 12 = 10 Ohms
An electric motor draws a current of 11.5 A in a 240 V circuit What is the power of this motor in W?
11.5 x 240 = 2760W motor.
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 8 ohms It draws 30 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) * VoltagePower = 22Amps * 240 VoltsPower = 5,280 Watts5280
A microwave oven has a resistance of 24 ohms It draws 5 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance V = 5 x 24 = 120 V.
