Section 31.6 Transformers
31.34 Off to Europe! You plan to take your hair dryer to Europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 V instead of the 120 V seen in the United States. The dryer puts out 1600 W at 120 V. (a) What could you do to operate your dryer via the 240-V line in Europe? (b) What current will your dryer draw from a European outlet? (c) What resistance will your dryer appear to have when operated at 240 V?
