The voltage does not matter for that calculation but you take the 1200 W and that is the power. All the time the iron is running it takes 1200 W - except when the thermostat (temperature controller) turns it off. Usually that happens when the red light on the iron goes out, if it has one.

Multiply the power of 1.2 kilowatts by the time in hours that it is actually drawing power from the supply, and the answer is the energy in kilowatt-hours (also known as Units).

What kind of electricity that flows through the electric flat iron?

Alternating current flows through a flat iron.


Why electricity pass through iron?

Electricity can pass through iron because iron is a good conductor of electricity. When a voltage is applied across iron, the electrons in the iron are easily able to move and carry the electric current along. This is due to the metallic bonding in iron, which allows electrons to move freely.


Does iron have poor electric current?

Is rust a conductor of electricity?

No, rust is not a good conductor of electricity because it is an insulator. Rust is a form of iron oxide that hinders the flow of electric current.


An electric iron is marked 240 voltagen 1200 w calculate the current flow through the electric iron?

To calculate current flow, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Substituting the given values, the current flowing through the electric iron would be I = 1200W / 240V = 5A.
