Given: I = 6 A, V = 220 volt, t = 2 hour

To find: i. Power of heater (P)

ii. Electric energy consumed (E)

Formulae: i. P = IV

ii. Electric energy consumed

= Power × time

Calculation: From formula (i),

P = 6 × 220 = 1320 W = 1.32 kW

From formula (ii),

Electric energy consumed

= 1.32 × 2 = 2.64 kWh = 2.64 units
