Equipment such as geysers and air conditioners, compared to light bulbs and fans, require:

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: D Higher power

Explanation:

Electrical equipment such as geysers and air conditioners require significantly higher power compared to devices like light bulbs and fans. The power consumption of an electrical device is given by:

P=VI

where:

• P= Power (in watts)
• V = Voltage (in volts)
• I = Current (in amperes)

Why do geysers and air conditioners need higher power?

• Geysers require power for heating water, which demands a high energy input, typically ranging from 1500W to 3000W.
• Air conditioners operate compressors and cooling systems, consuming around 1500W to 5000W depending on capacity.
• In contrast, light bulbs (LEDs and CFLs) consume only 5W to 100W, and fans usually operate at 50W to 100W.
• These high-power appliances draw more current, leading to higher electricity usage.

Thus, geysers and air conditioners require higher power to function efficiently.

Information Booster:

• Power-hungry appliances such as geysers, ACs, and ovens require dedicated wiring and high current capacity.
  
• Air conditioners use compressors that consume more energy than regular electric motors.
  
• Water heaters use resistive heating elements, which convert electrical energy into heat with high efficiency.
  
• LED bulbs consume significantly less power than traditional incandescent bulbs.
  
• Overloading circuits with high-power devices can lead to tripping or even electrical fires if proper wiring isn't used.
