Question

A toaster uses 1500 W of power when connected to a voltage of 120 V. What is the resistance

Answer 1

Hello!!

For calculate the resistance of the toaster, we have to applicate formula:

$\boxed{R= V^{2}/P}$

$\textbf{Being:}$

$\sqrt{}$ $P = Potency \ power = 1500 \ W$

$\sqrt{}$ $V = Voltage = 120 \ V$

$\sqrt{}$ $R = Resistance = \ ?$

$\text{Then let's \textbf{replace it according} we information:}$

$R = (120 \ V)^{2} / 1500 \ W$

$R = 9.6 \ \varOmega$

$\textbf{Result:}\\\text{The power of the toaster is \textbf{9.6 Ohms}}$

Answer 2

AnswerThe current through a toaster connected to a 120-V source is 8.0 A. What power is given off by the toaster? p= 8.0 A : 120V (p=960 W Page 2 7. The resistance of an electric stove eleinent at operating temperature is 11 12.
