Question

An electric clothes dryer draws 22 A of current from a 240-V wall outlet. How
much power, in watts, does it use?

Answer 1

Answer: 5280 watts

Explanation:

Recall that Electric power P, is a product of electric current I and the voltage V.

Thus, P = I X V

P = 20Ampere X 240Volts

P = 5280 watts

Thus, 5280 watts of electric power is used by the electric clothes dryer.

Answer 2

Answer:

5280 watts

240x22=5280
