ICSE Class 10 Answered

A refeigerator is marked 80W and 220V What is likely to happen if the voltage is reduced to 50V

If the refregirater power is rated as 80W at 220V, it draws 0.364 A current. 
power = voltage × current; current = power / voltage = 80 / 220 = 0.364 A
 
The resistance is Voltage / current = 220/0.364 = 604 Ω
 
if the voltage drops to 50V, then current drawn = Voltage /resistance = 50/604 = 0.083 A
 
Since rated current is 0.364 A, this small current 0.083 A will not be sufficient to operate the refegirator
