Determine the amperage in the electric kettle connected to the 220 volt network if the resistance of the filament is 390 m.

Given: U (mains voltage when connecting the electric kettle) = 220 V; R (resistance of the filament of the electric kettle taken) = 39 ohms.

We calculate the current strength in the taken electric kettle according to Ohm’s law for the section of the circuit: I = U / R.

Let’s make a calculation: I = 220/39 = 5.64 A.

Answer: The required current strength in the taken electric kettle is 5.64 A.
