An electric oven of 2 kW power rating is operated in a domestic electric circuit (220 V) that has a current rating of 5 A. What result do you expect? Explain. |
|
Answer» Current = 9.09AExplanation:The current drawn by the electric oven can be CALCULATED using the formula➡ P = V × I➡ I = P/VSubstituting the values, we get➡ I = 2000 W/220 V = 9.09 ATHE current drawn by the electric oven is 9.09 A which EXCEEDS the safe limit of the circuit. This causes the fuse to MELT and BREAK the circuit. |
