You need to check the currents in amps that each appliance takes, and the current in amps that the supply can supply. The divide one by the other and there is the answer.
Going by the power instead, a 120 v 10 amp supply can give 1200 watts.

How many volts is used in toaster?
In the United States toasters run on 120 volts.
Appliances usually run on what volt circuits?
120 volts
Can a 300 watt inverter run a 16 amp chainsaw?
One would assume the chainsaw requires 120 volts or more if you want to run it with an inverter. If your chainsaw uses 16 amps at 120 volts then your wattage is Volts (120) x Amps (16) and that would be 1920 watts. So you will require a much larger inverter to run your chainsaw.
How many volts does a house run on?
120 volts and 240 volts. Typically 240 volts is supplied to the house electrical service entrance. It is split into it's 120 volt components via two buss bars. Hooking a circuit up to just one bar yields 120 volts. Hooking into both gives 240 volts.
When 120 volts is applied to a rated 240 volt motor can it ruin the motor?
Yes, if you try to continuously run the motor at 120 volts. It may run, but at a slower speed. The slower speed will not provide enough cooling for the windings, and thus it will eventually be destroyed. No, if you incorrectly wired it at 120 volts, and then rewired it correctly, for the HIGHER 240 volts. Keep in mind that there are many different types of motors out there and this answer only applies to this specific application.

What is cheaper to run a electric fireplace on a 120 volts or 240 volts outlet?
Voltage does not affect the cost to run. You pay for the wattage, the higher the wattage the more it will cost to run.
What is 50 percent of 120 volts?
50% of 120 volts = 50% * 120 = 0.5 * 120 = 60 volts

Does a gas dryer run on 220?
North American household gas dryers run on 120 volts.
Can i run a 240 volt water heater on 120 volt?
No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
What is the potential difference of 12 and 120 volts?
The potential difference of 120 volts and 12 volts is 108 volts.
150 volts is what percent of 120 volts?
150 / 120 = 1.251.25 x 100 = 125answer:125%150 volts is 125 percent of 120 volts.
