Question

1. cindy looks at the iron, and strangely the iron’s electric info (image below), shows watts (w) but not amps. via a web search, cindy learns amps can be found by dividing watts by voltage (approximately). about how many amps does the iron use?

o 9a
o 132,000a

1. electricity passing through a person is dangerous (called electrocution). wet hands let electricity flow through the body fast. so outlets in kitchens and bathrooms usually have a built-in circuit breaker, to quickly break the current if too much electricity is flowing. what two buttons does the kitchen outlet shown below have?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify formula and values

The formula to find amps (I) is \( I=\frac{P}{V} \), where \( P \) is power in watts and \( V \) is voltage. From the iron's info, \( P = 1100 \, \text{W} \) and \( V = 120 \, \text{V} \) (standard household voltage in the US, as inferred from "120VAC" on the label).

Step2: Calculate amps

Substitute \( P = 1100 \) and \( V = 120 \) into the formula:
\( I=\frac{1100}{120}\approx9.17 \, \text{A} \), which is approximately 9A.

Answer:

9A (the option corresponding to 9A)
