- A young man owns a canister vacuum cleaner marked 535 W [at] 120 V and a Volkswagen Beetle, which he wishes to clean. He parks the car in his apartment parking lot and uses an inexpensive extension cord 15.0 m long to plug in the vacuum cleaner. You may assume the cleaner has constant resistance, (a) If the resistance of each of the two conductors in the extension cord is 0.900 , what is the actual power delivered to the cleaner?
