An electric lamp of 100 Ω, a toaster of resistance 50 Ω, and a water filter of resistance 500 Ω are connected in parallel to a 220 V source. What is the resistance of an electric iron connected to the same source that takes as much current as all three appliances, and what is the current through it?

A circuit diagram may be used to demonstrate the electric lamp, toaster, and water filter linked in parallel to a 220 V source:

The resistors’ equivalent resistance may be computed as follows:

R=500/16 ohm

Thus, The electric iron box has a resistance of 31.25.
