List of Questions6 questions
- Question 1
- The purpose of a circuit breaker in an electric circuit is to protect the circuit from overcurrent or short circuit by automatically shutting off the flow of electricity.
- Question 2
- In a parallel circuit, the current has multiple pathways to flow through, so if one pathway is broken, the current can still flow through the other pathways. In a series circuit, the current has only one pathway to flow through, so if that pathway is broken, the current stops.
- Question 3
- Question 4
- An electric fuse functions in a circuit by containing a metal wire that melts and breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a certain level, thereby protecting the circuit from damage due to overcurrent.
- Question 5
- Question 6
