This will sound like a stupid question to most. In my workbook I am calculating total power in a parallel circuit. On one part of the circuit, it shows a ballast labeled to be rated at 20W, but attached to the ballast it shows two lamps labeled to be rated at 50W each.
Would I be correct in deciding that regardless of what it is showing for lamps, the power draw for this section of the circuit cannot be be more than the power rating of the ballast (20W)?
