Question

Derase

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Power = 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatts.

b. Current = 4 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Energy consumed = 1.8MJ = 1.8 × 10^6 = 1800000 Joules

Voltage = 250V

Time = 30 minutes to seconds = 30 * 60 = 1800 seconds

To find the power rating;

Power = energy/time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Power = 1800000/1800

Power = 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatts.

b. To find the current taken from the supply;

Power = current * voltage

1000 = current * 250

Current = 1000/250

Current = 4 Amperes.
