In periods of peak demand, power companies lower their voltage. This saves them power (and saves you money!). To see the effect, consider a 1200- W coffeemaker that draws 10 A when connected to 120 V. Suppose the voltage is lowered by 13 % to 104 V.(Caution: The 1200- W label is valid only when 120 V is applied. When the voltage is lowered, it is the resistance of the toaster, not its power, that remains constant.)
1)By how much does the current decrease?
