The Hoover Dam produces electricity which powers parts of Nevada and California. It is made up of 17 generators, each of which produces electricity with a voltage of about 1.60 × 104 volts and a current of about 7.40 × 103 amps. How much power is produced by each generator?. Select one of the options below as your answer:. . A.. 2.16 watts. B.. 11.8 watts. C.. 1.18 × 108 watts. D.. 2.34 × 104 watts. E.. 8.6 × 103 watts.

Respuesta :

Given voltage and current, the power may be calculated by multiplying them. 
                                     P = V x I
Substituting the given values above,
                                     P = (1.60 x 10^4) x (7.40 x 10^3)
The numerical value of the operation above is 118400000 watts. Thus, the answer is letter C. 

The Power produced by each generator is 1.18 × 10^8 watts.

What is electrical power?

Electrical power is a measure of the work done by electric current per unit time.

The unit if power is Watts.

Electrical power is calculated as follows:

  • Power = voltage × current

Power produced by each generator is then calculated as:

Power = 1.60 × 10^4 volts × 7.40 × 10^3 amps

Power = 1.18 × 10^8 watts

Therefore, the Power produced by each generator is 1.18 × 10^8 watts.
