A 120 W electric soldering iron is designed for a voltage of 220 volts, determine the current strength

A 120 W electric soldering iron is designed for a voltage of 220 volts, determine the current strength in the soldering iron winding and its resistance.

Let’s remember the formula for calculating the power:
P = UI
Since the rated voltage is given to us, we find the calculated current strength:
I = P / U = 120/220 = 0.55A
R = U / I = 220 / 0.55 = 400 Ohm



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
