jedishrfu said:amp = colombs/sec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere
so your mistake is 6.5min = 0.108sec (ie 6 mins = one tenth of a second ? Does that make sense?
6.5 min= (6.5*60) secs = 390 secs
colombs = 1.6 * 390 = ?
Household current refers to the flow of electric charge that powers the electrical devices and appliances in our homes. It is typically supplied by the electric utility company and is used to power lights, appliances, and other electronic devices.
Household current works by creating a closed circuit between the power source (such as an outlet) and the electrical device. When a device is plugged in, the current flows from the power source, through the device, and back to the power source, completing the circuit.
AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) are two types of household current. AC current changes direction periodically, while DC current flows in only one direction. Most household current in the United States is AC, while DC is commonly used in batteries and some electronic devices.
The voltage of household current can vary depending on the country and region, but in the United States it is typically around 120 volts. This means that the electrical potential difference between the positive and negative terminals is 120 volts.
Yes, household current can be dangerous if not used properly. High voltage and current can cause electric shock, which can be fatal. It is important to follow safety precautions and use electrical devices and outlets as intended to prevent accidents.
