If the power of an electric heater is 1KW and electricity of 240 V is flowing through it find the electric current in the electric heater

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

Given = power = 1kwt = 1000 W
Power = Current X Voltage.
Therefore, current (I) = Power(P) / Voltage(V).
I = 1000/ 240 = 4.16 A
