A toaster oven has a power rating of 1200 W. What current does it draw on a 110 V household circuit?

about 11 amps (power = volatge * current ) very easy when the load is a resistor.

A toaster oven has a power consumption of 1200 watts. USA voltage is nominally 120 volts (not 110 volts) and would draw 10 amps.

110v was no more used in Canada and USA. It becomes 120V now. So, the oven drains 10A.

All of it on a 10A receptacle. I = P/V so 1200/110 =10.9A. it will overload the outlet.

pf is approaching 1. And minimum current = (1,200 W)/[(110V)*(1)] = (1,200/110)Amps

Assuming the rated voltage on the oven is 110 volts. P = EI 1200 = 110I I = 1200/110 = 10.9 amps

You get the amperage by dividing Watts by volts. So 1200/110 = 10.91A, or in practical terms that's 11A.
