Toaster This is dangerous because… (By the way, power strips are wired in parallel.) ACT: Your Kitchen 1. The resistance of the kitchen circuit is too high. 2. The voltage across the kitchen circuit is too high. 3. The current in the kitchen circuit is too high. Coffee Pot Microwave 10 A 5 A 10 A 25 A
