Am i correct?
Which of the following is a reasonable power rating on an electric oven?
220 V
8.0 A <-- this one seems reasonable
10.0 kW
50.0 kW-h
nvm got this one
The only power listed is 10kWatts. That is a lot of power. my oven is 5Kwatts.
Volts is not power
Amps is not power
WATTS is power (volts times amps)
watt hours is energy, not power
so it has to be 10 kW which is very high, let me see
220 Volts * 50 amps = 11,000 Watts = 11 kW
well this is a pretty hefty oven. I could not run two of them in my house :)
Yes, you are correct! The reasonable power rating on an electric oven is typically given in terms of watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). Among the options you provided, the one that seems reasonable is 8.0 A.
To determine the power rating, you can use the formula: Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) x Current (in amperes). From the options you provided, only 8.0 A provides the current value, which is necessary to calculate the power rating.
So, to calculate the power rating in this case, you would need to know the voltage as well. Let's assume that the voltage is 220 V, as listed as one of the options. Using the formula, the power rating (P) would be:
P = 220 V x 8.0 A = 1760 W
Therefore, a power rating of 1760 W (or 1.76 kW) is reasonable for this electric oven.
