Calculate the current flowing through 1.5 kW-250 V electric heater and also find its resistance.

Open in App

Solution

1. Given:
Power P= 1.5 kW= 1500W
Voltage V= 250 V

We know $P = V \times I$ , By substituting
$1500 = 250 \times I, I = \frac{1500}{250}$
Therefore I = 6A
2.
We know $V = I \times R$
Given:
Voltage V= 250 V
I = 6A from previous answer
By substituting, R= $\frac{V}{I}$ = $\frac{250}{6}$
Therefore Resistance R = 41.67 $Ω$
