Additional Information > Exam point of View

To calculate the number of 100-watt bulbs that can be safely used with a 5-ampere fuse on a 220-volt supply, we use the formula: Power (W) = Voltage (V) ร— Current (I). The total power available with a 5-ampere fuse on a 220-volt supply is 220 ร— 5 = 1100 watts. Since each bulb uses 100 watts, the number of bulbs that can be safely used is 1100 รท 100 = 11 bulbs.
