Manga Household Appliances Tyra

Calculate how much it costs to use five common appliances that you use every day in your home for 24 hours. Please let me know the applicance, its wattage, amps and volts of each appliance and how you calculated cost. You will need to go to GRU or look at one of your electric bills.
---I couldnt get this information for my "home" however I found that typically the max amount of amps of electrical power a home can hold is about 200. Below is an image of common household appliances, their wattage, amps, and voltage.

How many of those appliances can you plug into one outlet without tripping a breaker? Please do this mathematically rather than through direct experience.
---1. Figure out which fuse box powers which outler
2. Check the amps listen on the specific switch in the fuse box
3. Next it's time to do the math...multiply this by 120V = wattage for the circuit:
4. Multiply the wattage by 0.8 = safe wattage

What is the directional relationship between charge and current?
---Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in Coulombs/second which is named Amperes.
EC Find the distribution board and photograph for where you live. You may have to ask a janitor to let you in. What is the maximum current value for the structure that you live in? Again if you do not live in a single family home, you may have to do some research or asking.
---I was not allowed access to this.
