Problem

The metal body of an electric toaster is connected to earth through a wire of resistance 2 Ω2\,\Omega. If a fault makes the live conductor at 220 V220\,\text{V} touch the body, the approximate current through the earth wire will be (a) 11 A11\,\text{A} (b) 55 A55\,\text{A} (c) 110 A110\,\text{A} (d) 1.1 A1.1\,\text{A}
