Alabama Alarm Level 1 Practice Test

To determine the power consumed by a device, the formula to use is Power (in watts) equals Voltage (in volts) multiplied by Current (in amps).

In this case, the voltage of the device is 24 volts and the current is 4 amps. By applying the formula:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 24 volts × 4 amps

Power = 96 watts

This calculation shows that the device consumes 96 watts of power. Understanding this formula is crucial, as it allows for easy calculations of electrical power consumption in various devices. The other choices do not align with the multiplication of the given voltage and current, illustrating a misunderstanding of the relationship between volts, amps, and watts.
