Year 8 Physics Chapter 9: Topic 3 Quiz

To protect the circuit from excessive current by melting and breaking the circuit.

In a series circuit, components are connected one after the other, and if one component fails, the entire circuit is broken. In a parallel circuit, components are connected between the same two points, and if one component fails, the others remain functional.
