Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Given,
Power, P= 2000W
Voltage, = 220 V
It is known that the power (P) consumed is the product of the voltage (V) and the current (I). Mathematically,
P=VI
It can also be written as
= P/V
On substituting the given values, we get the current as
= 2000/220
= 100/11
= 9.1 A  9 A 
Since a current of 9 A is flowing through the circuit, the fuse of 5 A would melt.
The correct statement will be that a device of rating 2000 W, 220 V will not work in a circuit having a fuse that can tolerate current of 5 A.
