Question 2:
An electric oven of 2 kW 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 drawn by the electric oven can be obtained by the expression,
P = VI
I = P/V
Where,
Current = I
Power of the oven, P = 2 kW = 2000 W
Voltage supplied, V = 220 V
Hence, the current drawn by the electric oven is 9.09 A, which exceeds the safe
limit of the circuit. Fuse element of the electric fuse will melt and break the circuit.
