How does an electric drill work?
An electric drill has a small electric motor inside, driving a series of gears. The power from the gears turn a chuck, which holds the bit placed into it thereby drilling a hole.
Is a 230V drill as powerful as a 240V drill?
It's the same thing. To make it even more confusing... your power source is 220v.
Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?
Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps
What is the function of an electric motor in terms of electric power and motor?
The electric motor changes electric energy into mechanical energy.
Does a lamp plugged in but not on draw electrical current?
No, a lamp plugged in but switched off does not draw electrical current. The switch on the lamp has the electrical circuit in the open position. In open circuits no current will flow. As soon as you close the circuit the lamp will start using power at a rate that is the wattage of the bulb. It is this wattage that you pay your utility company to supply.
A power drill runs at a voltage of 120 V and draws a current of 4 A. What is the wattage of the drill?
The formula you are looking for is W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
What year was the first power drill made and by who?
The year the first power drill was made was 1895. It was made by the German engineering company C&E Fein. It combined the power of the electric motor with a manual drill to make the first power tool.
Can you try to start you riding lawn mower while the charger is plugged into an electric outlet?
Yes.it has more starting power when it is plugged in

What are gears for?
who knows? add me. Gears are used for a whole host of things. They can take power and convert it into torque. Think of an electric drill the power coming into the drill is quite small compared to the actual power that comes out of the drill this is done by gears.
Can an electric ceramic hob be plugged straight into a power point?
Of course it can. They come with a cord and a plug.

Why was the electric drill made for?
To provide the functions of a drill, and the portability and versatility of an electric power tool. Pneumatic drills are nice, but you're a bit restricted by having to keep within the radius of an air hose.

If electric heater works on 115 V and draws 3 A of current how much power does it use?
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E.
What is the input energy of an electric drill?
Some use AC electric power from a wall outlet. Some use DC electric power from a rechargeable battery (but this was originally charged using AC electric power from a wall outlet).
How much will it cost to have a small tv on all night?
Without knowing how much power your "small TV" draws nor what the electric rates are where you live, there's no way we can answer this. The back of the TV should tell you how much power it nominally draws, and you can get rates by looking at your last electric bill.
