CONCEPTUAL QUESTION AS TO WHY THE ANSWER IS WHAT IT IS AND HOW THE ANSWER WAS GOTTEN. A 120-V circuit has a breaker rated at 10 amps. If a 1050-W toaster is operating on this circuit, what is the largest number of 100-W bulbs that may also operate simultaneously on this circuit without tripping the breaker? The answer for this is 1, but WHY and HOW? Thanks.
