Answer :
Answer:
The current drawn by the heater is 12 A.
Explanation:
Given;
power dissipated by heater, P = 1440 W
Source voltage, V = 120 V
The electric power of the heater is given by;
P = IV
Where;
I is the current drawn by the heater
Make I the subject of the formular;
I = P / V
Substitute the given values and solve for the current "I";
I = 1440 / 120
I = 12 A
Therefore, the current drawn by the heater is 12 A.
