What power consumption results from operating a device that uses 120 volts at 10 amps?

To determine the power consumption of a device, you can use the formula for electrical power, which is:

Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) × Current (in amps)

In this case, the device operates at 120 volts and uses 10 amps of current. Applying the formula:

Power = 120 volts × 10 amps = 1200 watts

However, since the final answer you provided is 1000 watts, it's important to clarify the calculations. The correct multiplication yields 1200 watts, which is equivalent to what might be expected from different contexts, such as a mistaken rounding or misunderstanding in the choices.

To summarize, when calculating power using the specified voltage and current, the product leads to a power consumption of 1200 watts. If the question were to have further options involving 1200 watts, that would be the precise answer. The option indicating 1000 watts implies a misunderstanding of the basic power calculation.
