Question

A 1200W microwave oven uses 120V of electricity, how much current (in amps) is the microwave drawing when in use?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The information on the label tells us that the microwave oven needs 120 volts of electricity in the form of alternating current (AC) to operate, and draws 5 amps (amperes) of current during its use.

Answer 2

Answer:

10 Ampere

Step-by-step explanation:

Oven uses → 1200W

1W = 1200J / sec. — i

1 Volt = 1 Joule / Coulomb

Voltage used by oven = 120V

120V = (120J/Q)/sec. but oven uses 1200 Joules (i)

So, 120V = (1200J/10Q)/sec.

1A = 1Q/sec.

Current in the oven = 10Q/ sec.

= 10A.
