Question

How much power is consumed by a load drawing 5 a with 120 v across it?

Answer 1

Answer:

600 W

Explanation:

The power consumed by a load (resistance) is given by

$P = VI$

where

P is the power

V is the voltage

I is the current

For this load, we have:

V = 120 V

I = 5 A

Substituting,

$P=(120)(5)=600 W$
