Chapter 22, Problem 53A

To determine

Power dissipated by toaster.

Answer to Problem 53A

  $P=960\text{W}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Applied voltage, $V=120\text{V}$

Current through toaster, $I=8\text{A}$

Formula Used:

The electrical power is given as,

  $P=VI$

Where, $P$ is electrical power, $V$ is applied voltage and $I$ is current produced.

Calculation:

On substituting the given values in above relation,

  $\begin{array}{c}P=120\times 08\\ =960\text{W}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the power used by toaster is $P=960\text{W}$ .
