3. How many kilowatts of power are consumed by a load of 240 V with a load resistance of 5.75 $\Omega$
4. The power of a heater is rated at 6000 W and is powered by 240 V single phase.
The circuit breaker sizes that are available are 15 A, 20 A, and 30 A. Which size
circuit breaker should be installed?
5. The resistance of an industrial load is 4.25 $\Omega$, and the current running to the load
is 8.34 A. How much power is the load using?
6. A circuit breaker will open if current exceeds the rated current of the circuit breaker.
A 120 V circuit breaker with a rating of 20 A is protecting a kitchen that has a
supply of 1900 W of power. If a 600 W appliance is plugged into the circuit, will
the circuit breaker trip?
7. A circuit has a total resistance of 83 $\Omega$ with 240 V. What is the total current and
total power in the circuit?
