A light bulb used in a slide projector draws a current of 6 amperes when operating on 120 volts. If two slide projectors are connected in parallel across the same 120-volt source, the current drawn from the source in amperes is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two identical devices are connected in parallel, the total current drawn from the source is the sum of the currents through each device. Since one projector draws 6 amperes, two projectors will draw 6 + 6 = 12 amperes.
