Hey Guys,
I really did my best to locate the best sub-forum for my question (I was hesitating between the Homework one and this one), so please bear with me if my choice is wrong ...
Now to my question: So in my kitchen, I have a hot plate appliance, and it says on it that power consumption is 1200 Watt. Now what I am confused about is what does this power truly represent, especially that the hot plate has a knob that you can turn to control the plate's temperature. I mean, isn't the choice of temperature going to influence the actual heating power of the plate ? And if so, what are the parameters that I need to know that actual power ?
Thanks :)
