    6 A Washing Machine Has An Electric Motor and An Electric Heater

    Uploaded by

    Yu Sun
    The document discusses a washing machine that has an electric motor and heater. It states that the heater has a resistance of 22 ohms and the mains voltage is 230V. It then asks questions about calculating the current in the heater using voltage, current, and resistance equations. It also notes that the washing machine has a 13A fuse and asks why it has a fuse and why replacing it with a 2A fuse would not be sensible given that the motor draws 1.74A of current.
