The bulb with the lowest resistance. Current = Volts / Resistance
The total current in a circuit consisting of six operating 100 watt lamps connected in parallel to a 120 volt source is 5 amperes. Since power is volts times amps, take 600 watts (100 times 6) and divide by 120 volts to get 5 amps.
Volts = Current x Resistance. You have 24 Volts divided by 2 ohms and the draw will be 12 amps. Your batteries will fail quickly if not spectacularly.
In general, increased resistance will lower current draw. See ohm's law (V = IR)
Impossible to say without knowing the voltage

The bulb with the lowest resistance. Current = Volts / Resistance
Using Ohm's Law (E = I R) Voltage = Current x Resistance or switch around to get R = E / I: 115 volts / 8 Amperes = 14.375 Ohms The above is correct for DC current but is close enough to be used for AC current.
Different components draw different currents because they have varying resistance values. Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Therefore, components with higher resistance will draw less current, while components with lower resistance will draw more current for the same voltage.
Twenty amps is zero watts. You are missing one value. W = Amps x Volts. <<>> It depends on the resistance and the draw current in the electrical circuit.
It depends on how many volts it has.
To calculate the number of watts when given volts, you also need to know the current (in amps) flowing through the circuit. The formula for power (in watts) is P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amps. Without knowing the current, we cannot determine the number of watts from just volts.

A 10 watt bulb is defined by the voltage supply and the resulting current. So to make the math simple, suppose you have a 10 watt incandescent bulb designed to work at 20 volts. That means it will draw 1/2 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps. The resistance of the bulb is then Volts / Amps so in this case the resistance of the bulb would be 40 ohms. So our mythical bulb has a resistance of 40 ohms with 20 volts across the bulb in our example. Now if we put two of these bulbs in series with the same 20 volts we now have a total resistance of 80 ohms supplied by 20 volts and the circuit will draw 1/4 amp. This lower current will cause the bulbs to be dimmer.
To find the maximum current draw, use the formula: current (A) = power (W) ÷ voltage (V). In this case, 2160 watts ÷ 240 volts = 9 amps. Therefore, the appliance can draw a maximum current of 9 amps.
In general, increased resistance will lower current draw. See ohm's law (V = IR)
