A 500-watt vacuum cleaner is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 30 minutes. How much current runs through the vacuum? 900,000 amps 60,000 amps 4.2 amps 0.24 amps

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.2amps

Explanation:

Answer:

The current is 4.2 amp.

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 500 watt

Voltage = 120 Volt

Time = 30 sec

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

[tex]P =I\times V[/tex]

[tex]I = \dfrac{P}{V}[/tex]

Where, I = current

P = power

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

[tex]I=\dfrac{500}{120}[/tex]

[tex]I=4.2\ amp[/tex]

Hence, The current is 4.2 amp.
