प्रश्न
An electric bulb is rated as 10 W, 220 V. How many of these bulbs can be connected in parallel across the two wires of 220 V supply line if the maximum current which can be drawn is 5 A?

उत्तर
Maximum power that can be drawn from the circuit = VI = 220 V x 5 A = 1100 W
Let x be the number of 10 W bulbs used.
Then the maximum power x bulbs can draw from the circuit = 1100 W
10x = 1100
`x=1100/10=110` buulbs
