Please show Each Formula and Each Step used to obtain the answer(s).
How many 18 Watt light bulbs can be operated on a 120- Volt circuited protected bya a 23.4 Ampere fuse? Write answer(s) to two decimal places and in the form of (1.6E-19) if applicable/where needed.
Maximum current= 23.4 A
Minimum resistance= V/Maximum current
=120/23.4
=5.128 ohm
Resistance of each bulb, R =V^2/power
=120^2/18
=800 ohm
Number of bulbs = 800/5.128
=156
Ans:156
