Default How does a variac affect watts consumed?


Resistive load (heater) P=IxE double the voltage means double the
watts (directly proportional)


Well let's see. If you double the voltage on a resistive load you
would also influence a doubling of the current in that same load.
Last time I multiplies 2x2 it equaled 4
