An electric fan runs from the 230 V mains. The current flowing through it is 0.4 A. At what rate is electrical energy transferred by the fan?

Open in App

Solution

Rate of electrical energy transfer = Power consumed
∴ Rate of electrical energy transfer, P = VI
= 230 V $\times$ 0.4 A
= 92 W = 92 J/s
