उत्तर
An electrical appliance such as electric bulb, geyser etc. is rated with power (P) and voltage (V) which is known as its power rating. For example: If an electric bulb is rated as 50W-220V, it means that when the bulb is lighted on a 220 V supply, it consumes 50 W electrical power.
(a) To calculate the resistance of the appliance, the expression is:
Resisteance , R = `"V"^2/"P"`
(b) The safe limit of current I is : I = `"P"/"V"`
