Answer: The correct answer is 9120 W.
Explanation:
The expression of the power in terms of potential and current is as follows;
P=VI
Here, V is the potential, I is the current and P is the power.
It is given in the problem that a clothes dryer uses about 38 amps of current from a 240 volt line.
Calculate the power.
P=VI
Put V= 240 V and I= 38 A.
P=(240)(38)
P=9120 W
Therefore, the power of the clothes dryer is 9120 W.
