An appliance connected to a 110 V supply draws a current of 5 A. What is its power?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 550 W
- Step 1: Electrical power .
- Step 2: W.
Answer
550 W.
Why not the others: 22 W: that is the resistance, not the power. 115 W: it adds the numbers. 33000 W: it converts to energy per minute.
