A water heater operates at 240 V, and the resistance of its heating element is 12 How much current does it demand , and how much thermal energy will it produce in 30 minutes ?

AL2006

Current = (volts) / (ohms)

Current = 240/12

Current = 20 Amperes

Power = (volts) • (amps)

Power = (240) • (20)

Power = 4,800 Watts

That's 4,800 Joules/second

Energy = (power) • (time)

30 minutes = 1,800 seconds

Energy = (4,800 J/s) • (1,800 sec)

Energy = 8,640,000 Joules

Energy = (power) • (time)

30 minutes = 1,800 seconds

Energy = (4,800 J/s) • (1,800 sec)

Energy = 8,640,000 Joules.
