An electric heater operating at full power draws a current of12.5 A from a 132 V

Question

An electric heater operating at full power draws a current of12.5 A from a 132 V circuit. a) What is the resistance of the heater? Answer in units of. b)Assuming constant R, how much current should the heaterdraw in order to dissipate 1060 W? Answer in units of A.

Answer in units of. b)Assuming constant R, how much current should the heaterdraw in order to dissipate 1060 W? Answer in units of A.

Explanation / Answer

a) R=V/I = 132V/12.5A = 10.56 b) P=1060W = IV = I2*R =>I = (1060W/R) = (1060W/10.56) =10.02A .
