#### Question

An electrical appliance is rated as 60 W – 150 V.
(a) What do you understand by this statement ?
(b) How much current will flow through the appliance when in use ?

#### Solution

a) 60 W -150 V power rating of appliance means, “If appliance is put in circuit on 15 0 volt, it will consume 60 w electrical power i.e. electric energy consumed by it in 1 sec. is 60 J.
(b) P = VI
∴ Current will through the appliance

I= P/V = (60w)/(150v) = 0.4 A

Is there an error in this question or solution?
