Question

A microwave oven operating at 120 volts is used to heat a sandwich if the oven draws 12.5 amperes of current for 45 seconds what is the power dissipated by the oven?

Answer 1

We can solve for the power dissipated by the oven on the given values of voltage which is 120 volts and current which is equal to 12.5 amperes.
The formula for Power dissipated is P=V*I where "v" for the voltage and "i" for the current.
P=120*12.5
P=1500 watts
The answer is 1500 watts.
