Answer:

90 A

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI.............. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Supply voltage, I = current.

Make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Assuming the Voltage of the main electric supply is 120 V

Given: P = 10.8 kW = 10800 W, V = 120 V (household voltage)

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 10800/120

I = 90 A
