A 500-watt vacuum cleaner is plugged into a 120-volt outlet and used for 30 minutes. How much current runs through the vacuum? 900,000 amps 60,000 amps 4.2 amps 0.24 amps
4.2 amps runs through the vacuum.
P = IV,
P = Power in Watts, I = Current in Ampere, V = Voltage in Volts.
Current, I = P/ V = 500 w/ 120v 4.17 A converted to 4.2 A
