> What is the power rating?
The power rating can actually be calculated by the product
of current and volts. Therefore:
Power = I V
Given that current I = 0.5 A and V = 120 volts, therefore:
Power = (0.5 A) (120 V)
Power = 60 Watts
> How much energy is consumed in 10 minutes
Energy is simply the product of power and time in seconds,
therefore:
Energy = Power * time
Energy = 60 Watts * (600 seconds)
Energy = 36,000 Joules
