A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

r dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

Answer:

900 W.      

Explanation:

Given that

Electric heater 1500 W

We know that power P given as

P= V I

So the total power of 120 V and 20 A circuit

P = 120 x 20

P= 2400 W

So the power new load P'

P'= Total system power(P)- Electric heater load

P ' = 2400 - 1500

P'= 900 W

So the answer is 900 W.

What is the relationship between the valence electrons of an atom and the chemical bonds the atom can form?​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Valence electrons are outer shell electrons with an atom and can participate in the formation of chemical bonds. In single covalent bonds, typically both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair. The ground state of an atom is the lowest energy state of the atom.
