A 120-V circuit in an intensive care unit is protected by a 20.0-A circuit breaker. It has four 100-W lights, two 200-W ECG monitors, a 500-W electric bed, and two 25.0-W IV pumps operating on it. What is the maximum power that can be supplied by this circuit to another appliance? What would the resistance of that appliance be? Is it prudent to use the circuit to its maximum?
