The heating element of an iron operates at 110 V with a current of 13 A.
What is the resistance of the iron?
_____Ω
What is the power dissipated by the iron?
______ W
To calculate the resistance of the iron, we can use Ohm's Law:
Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
R = 110 V / 13 A
R = 8.46 Ω
Therefore, the resistance of the iron is 8.46 Ω.
To calculate the power dissipated by the iron, we can use the formula P = V * I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current:
Power (P) = Voltage (V) * Current (I)
P = 110 V * 13 A
P = 1430 W
Therefore, the power dissipated by the iron is 1430 W.
