while studying. There are three 190 watts light bulbs and a radio with an internal resistance of 46.0 ohms plugged into the living room electrical outlets. You decide to have a break and have a snack, turning on the pop-corn machine that draws 6.00 A.

a)How much electrical power are you using? Data: Assume the electric company provide you with 110 V potential difference.

b)All the electrical outlets are part of the same 110-V circuit which has a 10-A circuit breaker. How much current in amperes (A) is required to feed all the devices described above? This tells you if you should or should not turn on the pop-corn machine.
