An 1800 W toaster, a 1400 W electric frying pan, and a 75.0 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 120 V circuit. (The three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.) a) What is the voltage on each device? b) What current does each device draw? c) What is the total current drawn? d) Would this combination 'blow' the 15.0 ampere fuse?
