2. Household circuits in the Philippines commonly run on 220V of electricity. Frequently, circuit breakers are installed that open a circuit if it is drawing more than 15A of current. What is the minimum amount of resistance that must be present in the circuit to prevent the circuit breaker from activating? 3. When is Ohm's Law not applicable? Explain.
