An electric iron is rated at 900 watts on a 120-volt circuit.

How much current does the iron draw from the outlet?

If the outlet is part of a circuit with a 20-ampere circuit-breaker or fuse, what are the maximum number of irons that can be operated on this circuit?

Answer:

I = 7.5 a

2 iron

Step-by-step explanation:

P = VI

I = 900/120 = 7.5 A

Number of irons that can be used = 20/7.5= 2.66 that is 2 can be used
