Best Answer

real P= V * I *cos(phase angle between V and I)
for purely resistive loads or DC voltages this equals real power P=V*I = 120*5= 600Watts
for not pure resistive loads you'd have to measure the phase angle between Voltage and Current to get real power.
However, at home, the utility company charges for Complex power = V*I.
So you'd still pay for V*I.

The power consumed by the load can be calculated using the formula P = V * I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. In this case, the power consumed would be 600 watts (120V * 5A).

How much power does a load drawing 15A with 120V across it consume?

The power consumed by the load can be calculated using the formula P = V * I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. In this case, P = 120V * 15A = 1800 watts or 1.8 kilowatts.


How much power will a 230v adapter pull from a 120v outlet?

Power is multiplication of voltage and current. You need to know the load current drawing to establish the power. It is a bad idea to use 230 v adapter in 120 volts outlet


For 1KW electricity does 240V or 120V cost less?

The cost of electricity depends on the rate charged by your utility company, not the voltage. The amount of power consumed (in kilowatts) determines the cost, regardless of whether it's at 240V or 120V. The rate charged per kilowatt-hour will determine the cost.


Where can you find a 120V power cable?

Is 150 a lot of power?

I'll assume you mean 150 Watts in which case it isn't that much power. It would depend on the circuit from which you are drawing this power to ultimately determine if it is "a lot of power". A typical house in the US has 120V circuits with 15-20A breakers which would allow the circuit to handle a load of 1,800-2,400 Watts.
