An electric heater is rated at 1500 W, a toaster at 750 W, and an electric grill at 1000 W. The three appliances are connected to a common 120 V circuit. Calculate the current used by the three appliances if all three are on at the same timee

Respuesta :

Answer:

   I= 27.09 A

Explanation:

Power of electric heater = 1500W= 1.50*10³ W

Power of toaster = 750W = 7.5*10²W

Power of electric grill = 1000W =1*10³ W

Voltage = 120V

By using formula P=VI ie I = [tex]\frac{P}{V}[/tex]

A) Current used by electric heater I₃ =[tex]\frac{1.50*10^3}{120}[/tex]

                    I₃ = 12.5 A

B) Current used by toaster I₂ =[tex]\frac{750}{120}[/tex]

                I₂ = 6.25 A

C) Current used by electric grill I₃ = [tex]\frac{1000}{120}[/tex]

                   I₃ = 8.34 A

Current used by all three appliances is

       I=I₁+I₂+I₃

        I=12.5+6.25+8.34

         I= 27.09 A

The current used by the three appliances is mathematically given as

I= 27.09 A

What is the current used by the three appliances?

Question Parameter(s):

an electric heater is rated at 1500 W,

a toaster at 750 W,

and an electric grill at 1000 W.

Generally, the equation for the Current   is mathematically given as

I=p/v

Therefore

[tex]I3 =\frac{1.50*10^3}{120}[/tex]

I=12.5A

[tex]I2 =\frac{750}{120}[/tex]

I2 = 6.25 A

[tex]I1 = \frac{1000}{120}[/tex]

I1 = 8.34 A

In conclusion, Current used by all three appliances is

I=12.5+6.25+8.34

I= 27.09 A
