Question

Find the total current drawn by the following appliances by adding the currents of

each appliance. Electric iron: 4.12 amps, clock: 0.02 amps, light bulb: 0.91 amps, and a
workshop motor: 1 amp.

Answer 1

The total current drawn is 6.05 amps

Explanation:

Simply add the current that each appliance draws, to get the total current required. Notice that they are all given in the same units (amps), so there is no units conversion needed:

Electric iron : 4.12 amps

Clock; 0.02 amps

light bulb : 0.91 amps

motor : 1 amp

Total current : 4.12 amps + 0.02 amps + 0.91 amps + 1 amp = 6.05 amps
