Answer:
43.6 amp
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
A 40 amp fuse carries a temporary 9 % current overload.
9% current overload means that whatever will be the normal current carrying capacity of fuse, during overload it carries 9% more than that.
Current carrying capacity of fuse is 40 amp.
during overload it carries 9% more
over load current = 9% of 40 amp = 9/100 *40 = 3.6 amp
total current flowing through fuse during overload = 40 amp + 3.6 amp
= 43.6 amp (answer)
