diameter?
Which of the following characteristic is not suitable for a fuse wire?
(a) thin and short

An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is adjusted at 'minimum heating' it consumes a power of 360 W but at 'maximum heating' it takes a power of 840 W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.
Three heaters each rated 250 W, 100 V are connected in parallel to a 100 V supply. Calculate:
- the total current taken from the supply
- the resistance of each heater and
- the energy supplied in kWh to the three heaters in 5 hours.
Give a scientific reason.
Tungsten metal is used to make a solenoid type coil in an electric bulb.
Give Scientific reason
In the electric equipment producing heat e.g. iron, electric heater, boiler, toaster etc, an alloy such as Nichrome is used, not pure metals.
Give a scientific reason:
For electric power transmission, copper or aluminium wire is used.
Name any six domestic appliances based on the heating effect of electric current.
