Question

When plugged into a 120 v wall outlet how much current is used by an electric blanket rated at 140 W

Answer 1

Answer:

I = 1.166A

Explanation:

Given,

Voltage(V) = 120v

Power(P) = 140W

To Find :-

Current(I)

Formula Required :-

Current = Power/Voltage

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Solution :-

I = 140W/120v

= 14W/12v

= 7W/6v

= 1.166A

I = 1.166A

Answer 2

Answer: 1.2A
