Homework Statement
What is the maximum number of 60.0 W light bulbs that can be put in a household circuit (V= 110V) without tripping the circuit breaker if the maximum current through the circuit is 20.0 A?
Homework Equations
P= Vi
The Attempt at a Solution
P= VI => I=P/V for each light bulb's current...I= 60/110v = 0.545454A for 1 light bulb.
Max 20.0A so 20/0.545454 = 36.66666666 => 36 light bulbs you can put max.
Please check see if i got it right.
