Answer: 960 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is dispensed. Electrical power can be defined as the rate at which electric energy is flowing in an electric circuit. It is given by the formula:

P = V I

Where, V is the voltage(V) , I is the current (A).

V = 240 V (given)

I = 4 A (given)

P = VI = 960 Watts

Hence, power used by the cloth dryer is 960 W.

What is the formula for volume using density and mass

lawyer [7]

The definition of density is

Density = (mass) / (volume)

Multiply each side by 'volume' : (density) x (volume) = (mass)

Divide each side by 'density' : Volume = (mass) / (density)

A small sphere has a harge of 9uC and other small sphere has a charge of 4uC.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Electrical force, F = 90 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on sphere 1, $q_1=9\ \mu C=9\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge on sphere 2, $q_1=4\ \mu C=4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between two spheres, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Let F is the electrical force between them. It is given by the formula of electric force which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them such that,

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$
