Chapter 10, Problem 10.2

(choose chapter or problem)

a) A college student wakes up hungry. He turns on the coffee maker, puts some oatmeal in the microwave oven to cook, puts a couple of slices of bread in the toaster, and starts making scrambled eggs in the electric frying pan. If all of these appliances in his dorm room are supplied by a 120 V branch circuit protected by a 50 A circuit breaker, will the breaker interrupt his breakfast? b) The students roommate wakes up and turns on the air conditioner. He realizes that the room is a mess, so starts to vacuum. Now does the circuit breaker interrupt breakfast?
