You have 80 amps circuit breaker at 120 volts, how many watts can that handle

Moved to Electrical Forum.

Ohms Law states that Watts (power) is the result of multiplying volts times amps, or P=EI= 9600 watts.

Where would you have an 80A 120V circuit?

Sounds like first or second year apprenticeship...

Yep, OP says "you have..." not "I have...", wouldn't say it's a real thing, probably just a test question

Within the first four words I knew it was a homework/test question.

PIA thing is these folks never come back to explain. It's like they litter the internet with questions and never go back to clean up.
