A 5-ampere fuse wire can withstand a maximum power of 1 watt in the circuit. The resistance of the fuse wire is :
  1. $0.04 \mathrm{ohm}$
  2. $0.2 \mathrm{ohm}$
  3. $5 \mathrm{ohm}$
  4. $0.4 \mathrm{ohm}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} P & =I^2 R \\ \Rightarrow \quad & I=25 \times R \\ \Rightarrow \quad & R=\frac{1}{25}=0.04 \Omega \end{aligned}$
