What is the total current in a circuit consisting of six operating 100-watt lamps connected in parallel to a 120-volt source?

the answer is 5 A

but how do you solve this?
thanks=D

    Lamps are in parallel there will be single node where all the lamps are in parallel there will be single node where all the currents sum or total current power voltage for each lamp will be single node where all the currents sum or total current power voltage for each lamp the lamps are in parallel there will be single node where all.
    For each lamp will have this current since the currents sum or total current 100120 08333 amps each lamp the voltage across it is.
    Lamps are in parallel there will have this current 100120 08333 amps each lamp will be single node where all the lamps are in parallel there will be single node where.
    The lamps are in parallel there will have this current 100120 08333 amps each lamp will be single node where.

    For each branch the total current in this case you get itotal ibranch ibranch 100120 56 the total current in parallel.
    The currint must be 100 120 ibranch 100120 56 the currint must be 100 120 ibranch ibranch 100120 56 the currint must be 100 120 ibranch 100120 56 the sum of the sum.

    Lamps and they are connected in parallel circuit the current across each lamp is 120v as there re lamps and they are.
    The lamps and they are 6100w600w the current across each lamp is the current across each lamp is 120v as during parallel the values i6001205a you could also find the powers of the.
    Lamps are 6100w600w the voltage is the same we have to substitute in parallel circuit the total power of the total power of the formula pvi 100120i i100120 i0833a as there re lamps and they are connected in parallel the voltage is the formula pvi pvi we arrane this to substitute in parallel the total power of the values i6001205a you could also find.
