Question

Hurricane Flintstone has knocked out the power to your home. Your neighbor has the Bonda generator in the next problem and they have graciously extended a 100 foot extension cord to your home, which has a resistance of 0.0075 ohms per foot of wire (per lead). By how much is the delivered power reduced? Two appliances are to be connected to the same 120V outlet. Appliance 1 consumes 1600 watts and appliance 2 consumes 1100 watts. (You will have to calculate the "Resistive Load" of the above appliances!)

Explanation / Answer

.75 times 1600/120 and 1600/ 1100 ohm
