A toaster with a power rating of 1,000 watts is plugged into a household voltage of 120 volts. How much current runs through the toaster?
A) 120,000 amps
B) 880 amps
C) 8.3 amps
D) 0.120 amps

Answer :

C) 8.3 i believe i wouldnt take me 100%

Answer : I = 8.33 A

Explanation :

It is given that,

Power rating of the toaster, P = 1000 watts

Household voltage, V = 120 volts

We know the relation between power, voltage and the current is :

[tex]P=V\times I[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{P}{V}[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{1000\ W}{120\ V}[/tex]

[tex]I = 8.33\ A[/tex]

8.33 A of current runs through the toaster.

Hence, this is the required solution.
