The resistance of a bagel toaster is 14 Ω. To prepare a bagel, the toaster is operated for one minute from a 120-V outlet. How much energy is delivered to the toaster?
Added by Catherine A.
Step 1
We can rearrange the formula to find the current: $I = \frac{V}{R}$ Now, we can plug in the given values: $I = \frac{120\,\text{V}}{14\,\Omega}$ $I = 8.57\,\text{A}$ Show more…
