The total load in watts would be W = A x V. 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. Any wattage higher than this will trip the breaker and shut the circuit off.

The theoretical resistive load is V/I = 120/20 = 6 Ohms. The lower the resistance the higher the current. Usually you don't want to operate above the 80% point so the number would be 120/16 = 7.5 Ohms.

What does Volt-Amp mean?

Volt-Amp (VA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the total power consumed by a device. It is the product of voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes) in an AC circuit. VA is important for sizing power supply equipment to meet the demands of the electrical load in a system.


How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?

The current in a 220 volt circuit depends on the resistance of the load connected to it. Ohm's Law (I = V/R) states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). So, the current will vary based on the resistance of the circuit.

What are the properties of a circuit?

When you mean simple circuit, I assume a source of one volt across a load of one ohm, which, according to Ohm's Law, equals one amp.


What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with branch voltages of 440 volt and 440 volt and branch currents of 4 amp and 16 amp?

resistance = volt / current . 440 volt across a parallel circuit means the same 440 volt across both resistance s. hence resistance r = volt / current . 440 / 20 amp = 27.5 ohms total resistance


Placing a voltmeter into a circuit will raise the circuit resistance?

Placing a voltmeter into a circuit will not raise the circuit resistance. A voltmeter is designed to have a very high resistance so that it does not significantly affect the circuit being measured. The resistance of the voltmeter is much higher than the resistance of the circuit, so it has minimal impact on the overall resistance of the circuit.
