How many 90-W, 120-V light bulbs can be connected to a 20-A, 120-V circuit without tripping the circuit breaker? (Note: This description of a light bulb gives the power it dissipates when connected to the stated potential difference; that is, a 25-W, 120-V light bulb dissipates 25 W when connected to a 120-V line.) 26

    26

    Explanation:

    Total power of the circuit

    P = V * I = 120 * 20 = 2400 W

    Power of each bulb = 90 W

    Number of bulbs which work without tripping

    N = power of circuit / power of each bulb

    N = 2400 / 90

    N = 26.66

    Number of bulbs should be integer so the number of bulbs be 26.
