A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/11/M/J/24

Explanation
Electrical power formula P = V × I
Steps:
- Use the power formula P = V × I, where V is voltage and I is current.
- Given V = 250 V from the mains supply.
- Test each option by calculating P for the given I and V.
- Identify the pair where calculated P matches the stated power.
Why D is correct:
- It obeys Ohm's law-derived power equation: 250 V × 10 A = 2500 W exactly.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: 250 V × 0.5 A = 125 W, not 500 W.
- B: 250 V × 5.0 A = 1250 W, not 500 W.
- C: 250 V × 0.1 A = 25 W, not 2500 W.
Final answer: D
