SK0-004 · Question #755

A technician has a server that requires 120V at 5A. Which of the following is the number of watts the server consumes?

The correct answer is D. 600W. This question tests basic electrical power calculation using Ohm's Law. The formula for electrical power is: Power (Watts) = Voltage (V) × Current (Amps). Substituting the given values: P = 120V × 5A = 600W. This is a fundamental formula for IT professionals to understand when…

Explanation

This question tests basic electrical power calculation using Ohm's Law. The formula for electrical power is: Power (Watts) = Voltage (V) × Current (Amps). Substituting the given values: P = 120V × 5A = 600W. This is a fundamental formula for IT professionals to understand when planning power capacity, selecting UPS units, and calculating data center power loads. The other options result from misapplying the formula - for example, dividing (120/5=24), subtracting (120-5=115), or halving (600/2=60).
