Tristan Mcdonald · Answer 1

Power is determined through multiplying the square of the current, resistance and time. it is also determined by dividing energy by time

1. P = I^2 Rt = 6^2*1000*10*60 = 21. 6 MW

2. P = 4000 J/4s = 1000 W

3. P = 750 J / 30 s = 25 W

4. P = 500 J/3600s = 0.139 W; P = 1200J/10/60s = 2 W; toaster needs more power

5. P = 1200 J / 600s = 2 W
