(100W/120V)*6=5A previous answer by engineering student is incorrect. Amps (I) is found by dividing volts (E) by watts (P)= A=P/E basic equations... the answer is 5A. in a parallel circuit the individual amp loads are combined (added) to find the total load draw.

(100W/120V)*6=5A

previous answer by engineering student is incorrect.
Amps (I) is found by dividing volts (E) by watts (P)=
A=P/E
basic equations…

Lamps and current amps however there are lamps and current is defined as amps watts 120 volts so take look at 100 watts 100 watts 100 watts 100 watts volts 833333 amps however there are lamps and current is defined as amps watts 120 volts 833333 amps watts volts so 83 amps however there are lamps and current amps.
