a toaster is rated at 600 W when connected to a 120V source

a toaster is rated at 600 W when connected to a 120-V source. what current does the toater carry and what is its resistance?

Solution

Power, P = voltage(V) * current(I)

So, 600 = 120*I

So, I = 5 A <-------- current

Al

So, resistance ,R = V/I

= 120/5

= 22 ohms
