 SAMPLE PROBLEM #1
A 700-watt oven toaster was used to toast
bread for 2 minutes. How much energy is used
if the electricity at home is 220 volts? What is
the current in the toaster?
Given:
Power (P)= 700W
Time(t)= 2 min
Voltage (V)= 220 V
Energy used(E)= ?
Current(I)= ?
 SAMPLE PROBLEM #2

supply draws a current of 4A. Calculate the
power of the electric heater.

Given:
Voltage (V)= 230 V
Current(I)= 4A
Power (P)= ?
Ans. 920W
 SAMPLE PROBLEM #3
An automatic voltage regulation(VCR) that is
not playing still uses 10.0W of power. What is
the current if the VCR is plugged into a 120V
electric outlet?
Given:
Power (P)= 10.0 W
Voltage (V)= 230 V
Current(I)= ?
Ans. 0.083 A
