Module 1-4

 Extra Credit Assignment (10 pts):

What's the Power in Your Room?

Instructions

In the room where you live, survey the things plugged in regularly (AT LEAST 5).

1. Find the voltage and current ratings or the power rating for each device. Look on the plug, or the internet. Include information on where you obtain your information.
2. Add up their power draw when turned on, and the duty cycle (your light is not on 24 hrs a day). 
3. Estimate the peak power need (watts) as well as the total energy per day (kWh).
   
4. If everything in your room is turned on at the same time, would you expect to trip your circuit breaker? (Go look at your circuit breaker if possible, and take a picture).  Estimate how many more things could you have in your room without overloading it?
