If a 3,600 kW DC generator produces 250 amps, what is the voltage?

To find the voltage produced by the DC generator, you can use the formula relating power (in watts), current (in amps), and voltage (in volts):

Power (P) = Voltage (V) × Current (I)

In this case, the power produced by the generator is 3,600 kW, which needs to be converted to watts:

3,600 kW = 3,600,000 watts

Given that the current produced by the generator is 250 amps, you can rearrange the formula to calculate voltage:

Voltage (V) = Power (P) / Current (I)

Substituting the known values:

V = 3,600,000 watts / 250 amps

V = 14,400 volts

Therefore, the correct voltage output of the generator is 14,400 volts. This calculation confirms that the choice aligned with this value reflects the relationship between power, voltage, and current accurately.
