Determine the minimum number of 15-ampere, 120-volt lighting circuits required for a 1200 square foot apartment.

What will be an ideal response?


1200 square feet X 3 volt-amperes per square foot =3600 volt-amperes
amperes=watts/volts=3600/120=30 amperes
30 amperes/15 amperes per circuit=2 lighting circuits required
