current=watts(power)/voltage
If I understood your question correctly, 'If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to, can you calculate the current used by the appliance?' You are looking for this equation: I = Current (Amps) P = Power Rating (Watts) V = Voltage (Volts) I = P/V This equation is useful when calculating the fuse rating for an appliance. For example, and appliance rated at 2400 watts, supplied with 240 volts has a 10 amp maximum. I = 2400/240 however, when it comes to paying for electricity, the energy is measured in units, which can be found using the equation: P = Power (kW) t = Time (Hours) Energy Used (Units) = Pt for example, an appliance rated at 2 kW used for 3 hours, uses 6 units of energy. Units = 2*3
To calculate the current in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). The formula is I V/R. Simply plug in the values for voltage and resistance to find the current flowing through the circuit.
The wire that is at or near 0V and conducts an electric current whenever the appliance is switched on is the neutral wire. This wire completes the circuit and provides a return path for the current to flow back to the source.
To calculate current flow, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Substituting the given values, the current flowing through the electric iron would be I = 1200W / 240V = 5A.
To determine the current in the top wire, you need to know the voltage and resistance of the circuit. Use Ohm's Law (V IR) to calculate the current, where V is the voltage and R is the resistance.
There are a number of ways to calculate that current, from which you're free to select the most convenient one. Here are a couple of them: Current = (the mains voltage)/(resistance of the appliance) Current = square root of (power consumed by the appliance/resistance of the appliance)

If the fuse rating is less than the current an appliance needs, the fuse will likely blow or burn out. This is because the fuse is designed to protect the appliance from overheating or catching fire by interrupting the circuit when the current exceeds the fuse rating. It is important to always use a fuse with a rating that matches the current requirements of the appliance.
the current disappears!!:))
In its simplest form the equation to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance is: Watts = voltage x current. If the appliance is in a AC supply use the Route mean square voltage (the stated AC voltage).
Yes and No. You have three types of adaptors: constant current with variable voltage output. constant voltage with variable current output. constant voltage with constant current output. What you are talking about is the latter. This means that the adaptor was created for a specific appliance requiring 12V/2A, which it will indeed use. Heavier appliance will not draw enough current/voltage and will malfunction. Lighter appliance will draw too much current/voltage and will overload/shortcircuit.
A fuse link will melt and interrupt the flow of current to the appliance before it can get high enough to damage the appliance or wiring.
The largest number of watts an appliance can safely use on a 120V circuit protected by a 25A breaker is 3000 watts. You calculate this by multiplying the voltage (120V) by the amperage (25A). This gives you a maximum power capacity of 3000 watts on this circuit.
To calculate the amps for 115 watts, you need to know the voltage the appliance is operating at. If the appliance is operating at 120 volts, then the current would be approximately 0.96 amps (115 watts / 120 volts).
we use the inductor because it helps the circuit to have an appropriate amount of current, so that the circuit in the appliance will say longer.
use a calculator!
The greater the number of energy stars on the appliance label the more energy efficient it is. The label will also tell you how much energy the appliance you're purchasing will use in a year. You can use this information to calculate how much this appliance will cost you annually. Most electric companies (e.g. Ameren) also provide easy to use energy calculators that allow you to compare appliances savings.
