Question

While operating at 120 volts, an electric toaster has a resistance of 15 ohms. The power used by the toaster is

Answer 1

960 Watt

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Electric power = Voltage squared/Resistance

P = V²/R ..................... Equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance

Given: V = 120 volts, R = 15 ohms.

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 120²/15

P = 14400/15

P = 960 Watt
