Please read further to answer question. 10 points for best answerYou are comparing two vacuum cleaners in an appliance store and notice that one israted at 120V, 9 Amp while the other is rated at 120V, 12 Amp.WHY?
Which one carries the highest electrical current? A - The 12 amp one because 12 amp 9 amps! Duh! Which one has the highest resistance? A - The 9 amp one has the higher resistance. R = voltage/current Duh!
The vacuum cleaner's current is largely drawn by its vacuum motor/s. Some cleaners use another motor in order to drive a brush in the cleaning head. Could this extra motor be the cause of the added current in some cleaners?
