Answer:
1440 W
Explanation:
The power drawn by a voltage source is the rate of energy consumed, and it can be written as:
where
V is the voltage
I is the current
P is the power
For the source in this problem we have:
I = 12 A is the current
V = 120 V is the voltage of the source
Solving for P, we find the power:
