प्रश्न
You are required to connect a bulb, a fan and a socket outlet to the mains in one set A and an air-conditioner and a refrigerator to the mains in other set B. Will you recommend the wire of same thickness and same insulation in both? explain your answer.

उत्तर
No. The wire used in set B must be thicker and of better insulation than that used in set A. The reason is that in set B, the appliances will draw heavy current (= 15A) when they are used, whereas in set A, the appliances will draw ordinary current (= 5A) when they are in use. Therefore, the resistance of wire used in set B must be less than that of wire used in set A. A thick wire has less resistance than a thin wire.
