In the kitchen of your house you would like to run a 360 W blender, a 60 W phone charger, a 840 W toaster oven, and four 120 W lights. Assuming your house is wired for 120 Volts, how much current will be pulled by these electrical devices

Respuesta :

Answer:

I=11.5 A

Explanation:

Given that

Power use by blender = 360 W

Power use by phone = 60 W

Power use by toaster = 840 W

Power use by lights = 120 W

Voltage ,V= 120 V

Lets take current = I

The total power P

P =360 +60 + 840 + 120 W

P= 1380 W

We know that power P is given as

P = V I

1380 = 120 x I

[tex]I=\dfrac{1380}{120}\ A[/tex]

I=11.5 A

Therefore the current will be 11.5 A.
