Answer:
- Current = 9.09A
Explanation:
The current drawn by the electric oven can be calculated using the formula
➡ P = V × I
➡ I = P/V
Substituting the values, we get
➡ I = 2000 W/220 V = 9.09 A
The current drawn by the electric oven is 9.09 A which exceeds the safe limit of the circuit. This causes the fuse to melt and break the circuit.
