The power consumed by the electric clothes dryer may be calculated by the following equation,
P = I x V
where P is the power, I is the current in amperes, and V is the voltage in volts. Substituting the known values from the given above,
P = (15 A)(240 V)
P = 3600 watts
Therefore, the power consumed by the electric clothes dryer is equal to 3600 watts.
