A clothes dryer uses about 9 amps of current from a 240 volt line. How much power does it use?

Respuesta :

 240 x 9 = power
power= 2160 watts


Answer:

Power used by dryer is 2160 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current used by clothes dryer, I = 9 amps

Voltage used by dryer, V = 240 volts

We have to find the power used by it. Mathematically, the relationship between voltage, current and power is given by :

[tex]P=V\times I[/tex]

Putting the values of I and V in above equation as :

[tex]P=240\ V\times 9\ A[/tex]

P = 2160 watts

Hence, the power used by dryer is 2160 watts.
