Answer»

Power of air conditioner = 2 kW = 2000 W (1000 W=1kW)

Potential difference applied = V = 220 V

Fuse rating of the air conditioner = 10 A

Current used by the air conditioner = ?

2000/220V=9.09

10 A > 9.1 A ,Yes the fuse will be able ti withstand ,when the air conditioner is switched on.
