To calculate the amperage of a circuit with ten 100-watt light bulbs in a 120-volt circuit, you can use the formula:
Amperage (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V)
1. First, calculate the total power consumption of all ten 100-watt light bulbs:
Total Power = 10 bulbs * 100 watts/bulb = 1000 watts
2. Then, plug in the values into the formula:
Amperage = 1000 watts / 120 volts
3. Calculate the amperage:
Amperage = 8.33 amperes
Therefore, the amperage of the circuit with ten 100-watt light bulbs in a 120-volt circuit is 8.33 amperes.
