A house hold circuit has a fuse of 5 A rating. Calculate the maximum number of bulbs of rating 60 W - 220 V each which can be connected in this house hold circuit.
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of how many 60 W - 220 V bulbs can be connected to a household circuit with a 5 A fuse, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Calculate the current drawn by one bulb
We know that the power (P) of one bulb is given by the formula:
\[ P = V \times I \]
where:
- \( P \) is the power in watts (W),
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V),
...
