If the voltage used to operate a circuit is increased, then
the current flowing at every point in the circuit will increase,
and the power radiated by the components in the circuit will
also increase. 

If you increase the voltage TOO much, then you may need to
start cooling the circuit to prevent fire, or to prevent components
from failing.

The answer is A and D.

The relationship between power current and voltage is given by the following equation;

P=IV

P = power

V = voltage

I = current

When the voltage (V is increased and the current (I) is maintained, then the power will definitely increase.

Increasing the voltage also increases the distance that the power can be transmitted with little attenuation or loss. This is why voltage is usually stepped up (which will reduce current) significantly at power stations before it's transmission over long distances.

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow- dryer is 11 Amps, and th
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(a) 1320 W

(b) 480 W

(c) E':E ≈ 11:2

Explanation:

(a) Applying,

P' = VI'................. Equation 1

Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.

From the question,

Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (120×11)

P = 1320 W

(b) Similarly,

P = VI................... Equation 2

Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.

Also Given: I = 4 A,

Therefore

P = 4(120)

P = 480 W

(c)

E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3

E = P/t................ Equation 4

Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner

From the question,

Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4

E' = 1320/900

E' = 1.47 J,

E = 480/1800

E = 0.267

Therefore,

E':E = 1.47:0.267

E':E ≈ 11:2
