Question 220Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passHow many watts of power is equal to one horsepower?
A500 watts
B663 watts
C746 watts
D1,000 watts
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 746 watts. One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts, as defined by the International System of Units (SI). This conversion factor is based on the original definition of horsepower, which was the average power output of a draft horse. The conversion of 1 horsepower = 746 watts is a widely accepted standard used in various engineering and scientific applications. The other options are incorrect because 500 watts is less than 1 horsepower, 663 watts is a non-standard value, and 1,000 watts is greater than the accepted conversion of 1 horsepower.
