An electric oven of resistance 125 ohm, a toaster ofresistance 50 ohm and an electric geyser of resistance250 ohm are connected in parallel to a 220 V source.What is the resistance of an electric iron connectedto the same source that takes as much current as allthe three appliances and what is the current through[Ans. R = 31.25 ohm , I = 7.04 A]it? ​

Answer»

Answer:

  • If an electric oven , a toaster and a GEYSER with resistance 125 , 50 and 250 ohm respectively are connect in parallel to a 220 V
  • Then the equivalent resistance of parallel combination is 1/Rt = 1/125 + 1/50 + 1/250
  • 2+5+1/250

=> 8/250

=> Rt = 31.25 ohm

  • Also if an electric iron takes as much as current the all
  • So FIRSTLY we have to find the TOTAL current of the three => V = IR

=>220 = I × 31.25

=> I = 220/31.25

=> I = 7.04 ampere

  • Resistance of electric iron => V = IR

=> 220 = 7.04×R

=> R = 220/7.04

=> R = 31.25 ohm
