Question
What is the average current drawn by a 1.0 -hp $120-\mathrm{V}$ motor? $(1 \mathrm{hp}=746 \mathrm{W} .)$
Step 1
We are also given that the voltage of the power supply is 120 volts. We can use the formula for power, which is given by: \[P = IV\] where \(P\) is power, \(I\) is current, and \(V\) is voltage. Show more…
