Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
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.
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!
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.
The electric cost of running a hair dryer depends on its wattage and the local electricity rate. Typically, hair dryers have a wattage between 800-1800 watts. To estimate the cost, you can divide the wattage of the hair dryer by 1000 to get the kilowatt hours, then multiply that by the local electricity rate per kilowatt hour.
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.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. W = kW x 1000.
The current flowing through the hair dryer would be 4.8 amps (120 V / 25 Ω = 4.8 A).
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.

Your hair dryer has a resistance of 220/12 = Ohms. (I'm sure you can do the math.)
Hot hair in blowen out which tends to absorb the moisture from your hair .
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.
Yes, you can.
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.
