Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
How many amps does a 1875 watt hair dryer takes?
A 1875 watt hair dryer typically draws around 15.6 amps. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage of the hair dryer by the voltage of the outlet it is plugged into, which is usually 120 volts in North America.
The electrical outlet in my bathroom will power most things but my hair dryer the GFCI is not tripped the hair dryer works fine in other outlets and the fuse doesn't blow?
You, my friend, have a problem with your hairdryer! The windings for your motor or the heater are brushing the ground system within the dryer. The whole reason we have GFCI systems is to prevent you from using that very device in your bathroom. Buy a new one!
Can a hair dryer trip a gfi receptacle?
Yes, a hair dryer can trip a GFCI receptacle if there is a ground fault, electrical short, or moisture present that triggers the GFCI's safety mechanism. It is important to ensure that the hair dryer and the outlet are in good working condition to prevent tripping the GFCI.
Will a hair dryer work with direct current or just a alternating current?
A hair dryer is designed to work with alternating current (AC) because it relies on the AC supply to produce heat and power the motor that drives the fan. While some hair dryers may have built-in converters to work with direct current (DC), most standard models are not compatible with DC. Using a hair dryer with DC could damage the device or prevent it from functioning properly. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility.
What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a Outlet?
The current in a hair dryer plugged into an outlet in the US (120V) is typically around 10-12.5 Amps. In Europe (230V), it would be around 5-6 Amps.
A hair dryer uses 1.2 kW of power when it is plugged into a 120V outlet and is turned on What is the current taken by the hair dryer?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. W = kW x 1000.
What current flows through a hair dryer plugged into a 120 volt circuit if it has a resistance of 25 ohms?
The current flowing through the hair dryer would be 4.8 amps (120 V / 25 Ω = 4.8 A).
Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
Can a 120 hair dryer work with a 110 outlet?
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.
Where do you plug in a hair dryer?
in a power outlet
How does the energy transform from outlet to the hair dryer?
with electric
What is the resistance of a hair dryer that draws 12A when plugged into a 220V line?
Your hair dryer has a resistance of 220/12 = Ohms. (I'm sure you can do the math.)
What happens when a hair dryer is plugged in and turned on?
Hot hair in blowen out which tends to absorb the moisture from your hair .
Can getting shocked by a 120 Volt electrical outlet mess up your heart-not immediately but later?
I have the same question, especially if the outlet was a heavy duty vending machine outlet. After I plugged a hair dryer into it, something went wrong. I recovered, but my health hasn't been the same.
Can you use a 250v Hair Dryer in a Europe outlet with 220v?
Yes, you can.
Is a hair dryer direct or alternating?
A hair dryer is powered by alternating current (AC) electricity. This type of current allows the hair dryer to function effectively by converting electrical energy into heat and air flow.
