A 180.0 V power line is protected by a 20 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 405 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in parallel on this line without "blowing" the fuse because of an excess of current?
The following appliances are connected to a single 120 V, 15 A circuit in a kitchen: a 330 W blender, a 1000 W coffeepot, a 150 W coffee grinder, and a 750 W microwave oven. If these are all turned on at the same time, will they trip the circuit breaker?
The big mall near Sally and Amy's city has extended their operating hours to accommodate the huge crowds expected for the After Thanksgiving Sale. In their eagerness to beat the crowd, Sally forgets to turn off the headlights when she gets out of the car at the mall parking lot. The headlights in her car require 43.0 W of power each, and her 12.0 V car battery is rated at 92.0 A · h. When the two friends come back to the car after a long and successful shopping spree, they find that the car refuses to start as the battery is now completely discharged. How long were they in the mall? Assume that they come out just as the battery dies. (h)
