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.

Dear Student


P = 2 kW = 2000 W
V = 220 V
P = VI
I =5A
2000 W = 220 × 5
2000 W ≠ 1100
Here power and value of VI is not same that means the current required for the oven is more than 5 A that the circuit can supply.
Hence due to overloading, the circuit can break or catch fire.

Thanks
