An electric heater rated 220V and 2.2 kw works for 3 hours. Find the energy consumed and the current drawn by it.


1 Answer


Here, Voltage ( V) = 220 V 

power ( P) = 2.2 kw  = 2200 watt 

time ( t) 3 hours 

energy consumed ( E) = ? 

current (I) = ? 

We have, P = \(\frac Et\)

E = P * t = 2200 *3 = 6600 watt hours = 6.6 unit 

we know, 1 kwh = 36 * 10Joules 

= 237.6 * 105 joules 

Again , I = \( \frac PV \)

\(\frac{2200}{220}\)

= 10 A
