Older Homes have fuses instead of cicuit breakers.  The fuse will blow, breaking the cicuit, if more then a certain amount of current flow through it.  A fuse for one line in your home's electrical system melts if more then 30A of current flow goes through it.  Determine if the fuse will blow if the following appliances are all connected in Parallel to that line: a 13 ohms toaster, a 18 ohm dishwasher, a 24 ohm fridge, and a 15 ohm heater.  The potential difference across all devices is 120V.
