Appliances that require a lot of power, such as a dryer or a stove, typically run on 240 V, and require special electrical lines. If a stove requires 4,461 W to operate and normally uses 240 V, how much power would the stove actually get if it was run on 120 V?

Concept explainers

Ohm's law

Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Path of Least Resistance

In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
