In parallel circuit resistance goes with an inverse relation as:

1/Rn = 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3.....

so Power P = V2/R will follow the same proportionality only.

How do you decide which appliances can be used in a circuit without overloading it?

each appliance should have a rating label showing the amps or watts used, Add up these figures to see if they exceed the capacity of the circuit. Amps =watts/voltage


When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?

The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.


How many watts in 120v-60Hz-12A?

To calculate watts, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a 120V, 60Hz, 12A circuit, it would be: 120V × 12A = 1,440 watts. Therefore, the circuit uses 1,440 watts.

What is the maximum volt-ampere loading permitted on a 20-ampere branch circuit with a continuos load is?

The wattage of the circuit presuming that the circuit voltage is 120 volts. 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. Circuit loading on a continuous load is 80% so 2400 watts x .8 = 1920 watts

Why does a wall switch 'crackle' and the light flicker?

There is a high current draw on the circuit and the switch is getting old. Change out the switch, see if you can find a 20 amp switch as the internal contacts are designed to take the higher amperage. Check how many lamps are in the circuit in watts, add them together and use the formula for amps. Amps = Watts/Volts (120).
