An 1800-W toaster, a 1.3-kW electric frying pan, and a 100-W lamp is plugged into the same 20-A, 120-V circuit. (a) What is the total current is drawn by each device, and what is the total resistance of each device? (b) Will this combination trip the circuit breaker?
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
All final answer must be up to 3rd decimal places with the appropriate units and sign for direction.
