A student wishes to operate an electric kettle rated 1500 W, 220 V and an electric toaster rated 1000 W, 220 V from the same wall socket protected by a 5 A fuse.
(i) Calculate the current drawn by each appliance when it is operated at its rated voltage.
(ii) If both appliances are switched on simultaneously on the same circuit, determine whether the 5 A fuse will blow. Show your calculation clearly.
(iii) Suggest the smallest standard fuse (or MCB) rating that should be used so that both appliances can be operated together safely without overloading the circuit.
