The power strip consists of a "multiplier of the number of outlets", allowing up to three electrical devices to be connected at the same point on the wall. Naturally, the increase in electrical current can cause damage to this piece, which has been the cause of some residential fires. For this reason, there is an inscription limiting the electrical current to which the power strip may be subject. On a power strip, the inscription 16 A / 250 V was read. When using it at 110 V, assuming that its electrical resistance does not vary, one should expect an electrical current, in A, to pass through it, approximately equal to
