An eletricoven of 2kW power rating is operatedin a domesticelectriccircuit (220 V) thathas a currentratingof 5A. Whatresultdo you expect ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Thecurrentdraw by this electricoven.
`I = (P)/(V)`
` = (2000W)/(220V)`
Sincethe current rating of thecircuitis 5A, thefuse usedin this circuit is onlyof 5A capacity .
Hence ,when the ovenis switch ON,the fusewire (rated 5A) will getheatedtoo much, meltand break the circuit . THISWILL savethe electricoven from gettingdamged .
[ Iffuseof CURRRENT ratingmore than 9.09 Ais used in the circuit or if no fusehas beenput in the circuit , there may BEA FIRE ].
