How many amps will an electric heater use if 440 volts are applied to it and the resistance is measured at 80ohms?

The formula you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.


What is the calculated amperage for an electric range rated at 16 kw?

To calculate amperage, use the formula: Amperage = Power (Watts) / Voltage. For a 16 kW electric range, assuming a standard household voltage of 240V in the US, the amperage would be approximately 67A.


Does an electric stove burner use 220 or 110?

The burners will most likely be 240V. By keeping the range at 240 volts it will use less amps that at 120V. Say a range and oven is rated at 9000 watts. Watts = amps x volts. 9000/240V = 37.5 amps. 9000/120V = 75 amps. As you can see at 120 volts the amperage is double over 240 volts. You would need a 100 amp breaker and #4 wire to accomodate the range on 120 volts.

How many amps does your electric recliner chair use?

The amperage used by an electric recliner chair typically ranges from 1 to 3 amps, depending on the model and features. Most electric recliners operate on standard household voltage (120V in the U.S.), so you can estimate the wattage by multiplying the amps by the voltage. For example, a chair using 2 amps would consume about 240 watts. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for precise electrical requirements.


What is the recommended amperage for a breaker to use with a range: 40 or 50 amp?
