The maximum continuous load of a 15amp, 120volt circuit is? And how do you figure it out?

-
load is expressed in volt-amps (the "real" portion of this is in watts). You determine volt-amps (VA) just as it appears...V x A.

In this case, a 120V load at 15A feels 120V x 15A = 1800 VA.

That's your answer!

Assuming that this is an NEC question: "In no case shall the load exceed the branch-circuit ampere rating." "The rating of any one cord- and plug-connected utilization equipment shall not exceed 80 percent of the branch-circuit ampere rating. The total rating of utilization equipment fastened in place shall not exceed 50 percent of the branch-circuit rating where lighting units, cord- and plug-connected utilization equipment not fastened in place, or both are also supplied."
