One more thing, Voltage times Current = Load (Watts)
So a 100W lamp will draw a current of 100W/120V = 0.83Amps
So the resistance of the lamp can be calculated using V=IR so 120=0.83R so R = 144 Ohms

The current drawn on a 120V outlet is in direct proportion to the resistance. V=IR where V=voltage (120) I=Current and R=Resistance in Ohms.
The voltage drop across the resistor (load) will be consistant - 120V assuming a line to neutral connection. If R approaches zero, I approached infinity...
I recently attended a project management bootcamp by PSMJ and they provided an pretty cool excel work book that generates a three line diagram of projected vs. actual vs. costs. I had never seen this before but I am liking the concept. There is also a solution that my fishing buddy uses called...
