Amps drawn by a 2,000 W kettle at 230 V

Answer: current = 8.696 A (equivalent resistance 26.45 Ω).

What we know

Power: 2000 W
Voltage: 230 V

Step by step

Given: P = 2000 W, V = 230 V
Formula: I = P / V
Substitute: I = 2000 / 230
Result: I = 8.696 A

All results

Current	8.696 A
Equivalent resistance	26.45 Ω

The physics

Electrical power is voltage times current, P = V·I. Rearranged, the current a device draws is its power divided by the supply voltage: I = P / V. That single step turns any appliance's wattage into the amps flowing through its cord and the circuit behind it.
