An appliance connected to a 220 V supply draws a current of 10 A. What is its power?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 2200 W
- Step 1: Electrical power .
- Step 2: W.
Answer
2200 W.
Why not the others: 22 W: that is the resistance, not the power. 230 W: it adds the numbers. 132000 W: it converts to energy per minute.
