Electrical devices are built to work with the voltage in your home. All electrical devices use the same voltage, which is either somewhere around 110 V (in some regions) or somewhere around 220 V (in others).

Please note that "voltage" is not the same "power", the measure of how fast energy is used. Power (in watts) is basically the product of voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes). Different devices use the same voltage; but devices that use a lot of power (such as electric irons, or showers) use more current.

How does the voltage affect the strength and direction of the electric field in a given region?

The voltage affects the strength of the electric field in a given region by determining how much force is exerted on charged particles within that region. A higher voltage results in a stronger electric field, leading to greater force on charged particles. The direction of the electric field is determined by the polarity of the voltage source, with positive voltage creating an outward electric field and negative voltage creating an inward electric field.

How do you know how much electricity is consumed by electric iron of 240 V and 1200 W?

The voltage does not matter for that calculation but you take the 1200 W and that is the power. All the time the iron is running it takes 1200 W - except when the thermostat (temperature controller) turns it off. Usually that happens when the red light on the iron goes out, if it has one. Multiply the power of 1.2 kilowatts by the time in hours that it is actually drawing power from the supply, and the answer is the energy in kilowatt-hours (also known as Units).

How much electricity does an electric eel generate and how is it able to produce such high voltage?

An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity. It is able to produce such high voltage because of specialized cells called electrocytes in its body that work together to create electric shocks.


What controls the flow of electric current?

The flow of electric current is controlled by the voltage applied to a circuit. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes charged particles (electrons) through a conductor, allowing current to flow. The resistance in the circuit also affects the flow of current, as it determines how much opposition the current encounters.

How much voltage is 6 joules?

Voltage cannot be directly converted from joules, as they are different units of measurement. Joules represent energy, while voltage is a measure of electric potential difference. To determine voltage, you would need more information such as current and resistance in the circuit.
