Will a 700 watt toaster trip a 10 amp fuse?

To determine if a 700-watt toaster will trip a 10-amp fuse, we first need to calculate the current it draws. Using the formula ( \text{Current (I)} = \frac{\text{Power (P)}}{\text{Voltage (V)}} ), and assuming a standard voltage of 120 volts, the current would be approximately 5.83 amps (700W ÷ 120V). Since this is below the 10-amp limit, the toaster should not trip the fuse under normal operating conditions. However, if there are other devices on the same circuit, the total current may exceed 10 amps and could cause the fuse to trip.
