Question

A toaster oven draws 300.0 watts of power. If it is plugged into an outlet with a voltage of 115 volts, what current is in the toaster's circuit?
OA 3.45 10% amps
ОВ.
415 amps
Ос.
285 amps
OD
2.61 amps

Answer 1

Answer:

I = 2.61 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a toaster is 300 watts

It is plugged into an outlet with a voltage of 115 volts

We need to find the current in the toaster's circuit.

The electrical power is given by the formula as follows :

P = V I

I is electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{300}{115}\\\\I=2.61\ A$

So, 2.61 A of current is in the toaster's circuit.
