The discussion revolves around a problem in electromagnetism related to electrical appliances and their power consumption in different voltage environments. The original poster appears to have been confused about the specifics of the problem, which involved an appliance rated at 800 W in Canada and its consumption when used in the UK.
The discussion is currently stalled due to the lack of a clear problem statement from the original poster. Some participants have noted the absence of historical context for the question, and there is a suggestion that the thread may be closed due to these issues.
There are references to specific homework guidelines that participants are encouraged to follow, indicating a structured approach to seeking help. The original poster's edits to the problem statement have led to confusion among participants regarding the details of the question.

When I first replied, there was a problem statement about an electrical appliance that consumes 800 W when connected to a 120 V outlet in Canada. The question was how much power it would consume in the UK where the outlets are 240 V. There were five choices, all in kW, which I don't remember except for the correct one which can be easily reconstructed and "zero" which means that Canadian appliances in the UK would be useless.DaveE said:me too. what's your question?
