How much current will an electric heater...

How much current will an electric heater coil draw from a 220 V source, if the resistance of the heater coil is 100 `Omega`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We are given, source voltage V = 220V, : Resistance of heater coil `R = 100 Omega`.
Now, `V =IR`
`:. I =V/R = 22 V//100 Omega = 2.2A`
Important note: When different electrical devices having different resistances are connected separately to the same source, current drawn by them are different.
