Why we need a 5 A fuse for an electric iron which consumes 1 kW power at 220 V ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why a 5 A fuse is needed for an electric iron that consumes 1 kW of power at 220 V, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, voltage, and current. The power consumed by an electrical device can be calculated using the formula: \[ P = V \times I \] where: - \( P \) is the power in watts (W), - \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V), ...
