Manga Guide to Electricity One pp 1-36

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.

A=W/V

Silk epil : 100-240V    400MA    50-60hz  7-5W   

Hair dryer: 125V 60hz  1200W   9.6A

Rice cooker: 120V 60hz  300W  2.5A

Vacum cleaner: 120V 60hz  1.2A

Iron: 120V  60hz 1100W     9.1A

*Unfortunately, because I live on campus I don’t have electricity bill , I searched for GRU bill in internet but I couldn’t understand

How many of those appliances can you plug into one outlet without tripping a breaker? Please do this mathematically rather than through direct experience.

 For these appliances based on explanation on Manga Guide, it should can plug 2 or 3 maximum, because the current will be exceed 20A

What is the directional relationship between charge and current?
 Charge is positive and negative electrical property. Having continues flow of electrons causes having current. Their direction is opposite when electrons are continuously flowing, electricity flowing.
