A 5 amp fuse wire can withstand a maximum power of 1 W in circuit. The resistance of the fuse wire is

  • 0.2 Ω

  • 5 Ω

  • 0.4 Ω

  • 0.04 Ω

Solution

D.

0.04 Ω

    Electric power = volltage difference × current    

                    P = i V 

                      = i × iR 

 ⇒       Power P = i2 R

⇒                 R = Pi2

   Given:- P = 1W and i = 5A

 ∴               R = 152

                  R = 0.04 Ω
