Determine the current strength in the Electric kettle connected to a 220 V network, if the resistance

Determine the current strength in the Electric kettle connected to a 220 V network, if the resistance of the heating coil is 40 Ohm.

Given: U (mains voltage) = 220 V; R (resistance that the heating coil has) = 40 ohms.

To determine the current strength in the electric kettle used, we apply Ohm’s law for the section of the circuit: I = U / R.

Calculation: I = 220/40 = 5.5 A.

Answer: The used electric kettle consumes 5.5 A.
