An electric oven of 2 kW power rating is operated in a domestic electric circuit (220 V) that has a current rating of 5 A. What result do you expect? Explain.
Given an electric oven.
Power rating, P = 2 kW
Voltage of domestic electric circuit = 220 V
Current rating = 5 A
Electric current drwan by oven is given by,
Thus, the electric oven draws current much more than the current rating of 5 A. That is the cirucit is overloaded. Due to excessive current, the fuse wire blows and the circuit will break.
