Question

Part A What is the current in the element of an electric clothes dryer with a resistance of 8.2? when it is connected to 240 V? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B How much charge passes through the element in 50?min? (Assume direct current.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

a)

I = V/R (ohm's law)

I = 240 /8.2

I = 29.268 A


b) Q = I*t

= 29.268 * 50*60

= 87804.878 C
