Another easy question?

A hair dryer draws 1.5A from a 120V source. If the hair dryer is used for 10min the energy consumed is b*10 . The value of b is .....???



Another easy question?

power=iv=1.5*120



=180watts



energy consumed in 10minutes=180*1/6 /1000=3/100 kwh



b*10=3/100



b=3/1000=0.003answer



Another easy question?

The energy consumed for one hour is 1.5 * 120 = 180 Watts



( I have never seen a 1.5 amp hair dryer)



So watts per min = 180/60 = 3 watts per min



so in your equations b = 3



Another easy question?

1.5 x 120= 180 watts or 0.18 KW, so there you have it . this is a rather rediculious question as most hairdryers require about 1000 watts to function. if this is a test question, i take exception to the validity of of the reality of it.
