An electric soldering iron with a resistance of 1.2 kOhm is included in an electrical circuit with a voltage of 220 V

An electric soldering iron with a resistance of 1.2 kOhm is included in an electrical circuit with a voltage of 220 V. Find the power consumed by the soldering iron.

From the Joule-Lenz law:
P = (U ^ 2) / R,
where P is the power consumed by the conductor, U is the voltage on the conductor, R is the resistance of the conductor.
P = 220 * 220/1200 = 40.3 W
