The heating effect of an electric current House wiring is made of copper wire and is designed to let electric current flow through it easily. It is said to have a low resistance. However, the parts of some devices such as the heating elements of kettles and toasters are designed to have a high resistance. Resistance causes heat energy to be produced when an electric current flows. The greater the resistance and current the hotter the heating element may become. A kettle’s heating element

Electrical power (P) electrical power = energy transferred ÷ time The electrical power, P of a device is equal to the rate at which it transforms energy from electrical to some other form (such as heat). electrical power = energy transferred ÷ time electrical power is measured in watts (W) energy in joules (J) time in seconds (s) also: 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1 000 watts 1 megawatt (MW) = 1 000 000 watts

Electrical power ratings These are always shown on an electrical device along with voltage and frequency requirements.

Question 2 Calculate the current drawn by a kettle of power 2kW when connected to the mains 230V power supply.

Question 2 Calculate the current drawn by a kettle of power 2kW when connected to the mains 230V power supply. P = I x V becomes: I = P ÷ V = 2kW ÷ 230V = 2000W ÷ 230V electric current = 8.7A

A 3-pin plug will normally contain a 3A, 5A or 13A fuse. Fuse ratings The equation: current = electrical power voltage is used to find the fuse rating of a device. The correct fuse rating is that next above the normal current required by an appliance. Example: A 5A fuse should be used with a device that needs a current of 3.5A. A 3-pin plug will normally contain a 3A, 5A or 13A fuse.
