A current of 11 amps at 240 V flows through an electric range. If it is used an average of one hour per day:
a. Calculate the power (watts) used by the range in one day. (Ans: 2640 W)
To calculate the power used by the range in one day, we can use the formula:
Power (in watts) = Current (in amps) x Voltage (in volts)
Given that the current is 11 amps and the voltage is 240 volts, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Power = 11 A x 240 V
Power = 2640 W
Therefore, the power used by the range in one day is 2640 watts.
