How much current will an electric bulb of resistance $1100\, \Omega$ draw from a $220\, V$ source $?$ If $a$ heater of resistance $100\, \Omega$ is connected to the same source instead of the bulb, calculate the current drawn by the heater.

$I =\frac{ V }{ R }=\frac{1100}{220}=5 A$

In case of heater, $I=\frac{1100}{100}=11 A$
