Question

An electrical appliance is rated 1500 W, 250 V. This appliance is connected to a 250 V supply mains. The current drawn by the appliance (assuming unity power factor) is:

• A. 6 A
• B. 10 A
• C. 15 A
• D. 12 A

Hint:

Power is the product of voltage and current for resistive loads. For a rated appliance, simply divide the power by the voltage to find the current.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The power \( P \) is related to the voltage \( V \) and current \( I \) by: \[ P = V \times I \] Thus, the current is: \[ I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{1500}{250} = 6 \, \text{A} \]
