The correct Answer is:
To find the minimum fuse current for the given electrical appliances in the house, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total power consumed by all the bulbs and heaters. 1. **Power of 45 W bulbs**: - Number of bulbs = 15 - Total power = 15 bulbs × 45 W/bulb = 675 W 2. **Power of 100 W bulbs**: - Number of bulbs = 15 - Total power = 15 bulbs × 100 W/bulb = 1500 W 3. **Power of 10 W bulbs**: - Number of bulbs = 15 - Total power = 15 bulbs × 10 W/bulb = 150 W 4. **Power of heaters**: - Number of heaters = 2 - Power of each heater = 1 kW = 1000 W - Total power = 2 heaters × 1000 W/heater = 2000 W Now, we sum up all the powers: \[ \text{Total Power} = 675 W + 1500 W + 150 W + 2000 W = 4325 W \] ### Step 2: Use the formula to calculate current. The formula relating power (P), voltage (V), and current (I) is: \[ P = V \times I \] Rearranging this gives: \[ I = \frac{P}{V} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values into the equation. Given: - Total Power (P) = 4325 W - Voltage (V) = 220 V Substituting these values: \[ I = \frac{4325 W}{220 V} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the current. Now, performing the division: \[ I = \frac{4325}{220} \approx 19.66 A \] ### Step 5: Round up to find the minimum fuse current. Since fuses are rated in whole numbers, we round 19.66 A up to the nearest whole number: \[ \text{Minimum Fuse Current} \approx 20 A \] ### Final Answer: The minimum fuse current required is **20 A**. ---

To find the minimum fuse current for the given electrical appliances in the house, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total power consumed by all the bulbs and heaters. 1. **Power of 45 W bulbs**: - Number of bulbs = 15 - Total power = 15 bulbs × 45 W/bulb = 675 W ...
