Question

A 350-watt vacuum is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 30 seconds. How much current runs through the vacuum? 2.9 amps 4.0 amps 11.6 amps 42,000 amps

Answer 1

                                           Power  =  (voltage)  x  (current)

                                      350 watts  =  (120 volts) x (current)

                                      350 watts / 120 volts = current

                                            current  =  2.917 Amperes  continuously
