    Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J

    Explanation:

    Energy = Power x Time

    Power = Voltage x Current

    Voltage = 120 V

    Current = 9.5 A

    Power = Voltage x Current

    Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W

    Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s

    Energy = Power x Time

    Energy = 1140 x 7200

    Energy = 8208000 J

    Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J
