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.
