That depends entirely on the hair dryer; different models have different energy consumption values.
Read the label and if necessary, use the formula:
Amps * Volts = Watts
If you know any two of the values, you can calculate the third (remember basic algebra?)
For calculation purposes, figure that the voltage in the United States is about 117 to 120.
Take the amount of watts the drier demands then divide by 120 volts. You will have your answer, most people call 120 110 volts and 240 220 volts. If you were going the other way to figure out the max amount of watts a 15 amp breaker could take would be by taking 120 volts multiplied by 15 amps equals 1800 watts max.
Not the same as a stove or drier which have motors, so the reverse would be the answer meaning for the stove it is normal to have a 40 amp breaker but take 6500 watts and divide by 240 volts equals 27 amps multiplied by the heat ratio it has which is 1.25 brings it up to 33 which is a safety margin.
power (watts) = current (amps) x voltage (volts), so
current = power / voltage
current = 1200 / 120 = 10 amps

Roughtly speaking, the power used is the product of the voltage and the current - the product of volts x amperes. Answer is in watts. (To be precise, in the case of AC, when current and voltage are not exactly in phase, there may be a "power factor" involved - but in practice, this power factor is often close to 1.)
Use the Power Law to work out the answer.
Power (watts) = volts x amps
Use P = V*I
P = 1100W and V = 120V
Solve for I to get 9.17A
The formula that you are looking for is W = I x E, Watts = Amps x Volts.
how many amps does a hair dryer use
about 3 or 4
Could be about 13 amps at 240 v.
Max amps would be 1000 divided by 120.
0.27 a
To find amps if watts and volts are known, use the formula; watts / volts = amps or 5000 / 240 = 20.83 amps
4 amps
The hairdryer usually use the electrical energy. When heated, the hairdryer will convert electrical energy to heat energy which can then be used for hair drying.
10 amps
Of course.
Not recommended.
a regular toaster uses about 12.5 amps
about 3 or 4

amps like.. amplifiers? it depends on how many speakers you have. or amps like.. current draw? again. depends on your power needs, your power amps... ect
Could be about 13 amps at 240 v.
unless yall r brother sis...... what kind of guy doesnt let a girl use the hairdryer?
