7-Consider a household circuit operating at 120 V and a 30.0 A circuit breaker; (a) Calculate the minimum number of incandescent lightbulbs that need to be connected in parallel in order to trip the circuit. (b) Calculate the minimum additional number of LED lightbulbs that could be connected in parallel before the circuit is tripped. (The power rating of Incandescent lightbulbs is 60 W while the power rating of LED lightbulbs is 10 W).
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.
