In a certain stereo system, each speaker has a resistance of 6.00 Ω. The system is rated at 56.8 W in each channel. Each speaker circuit includes a fuse rated at a maximum current of 1.50 A. Is this system adequately protected against overload? Give the current drawn by each speaker to support your answer.
Added by Emilia M.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the current drawn by each speaker using the formula \(I = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R}}\), where \(I\) is the current, \(P\) is the power, and \(R\) is the resistance. Show more…

A 120 $\mathrm{V}$ power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 500 $\mathrm{W}$ lamps that can be simultaneously operated in parallel on this line without "blowing" the fuse because of an excess of current?
