Question

For protecting electrical appliances at home

  1. A circuit breaker is connected in series with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in parallel with house wiring system
  2. A circuit breaker is connected in parallel with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in series with house wiring system
  3. A circuit breaker is connected in parallel with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in parallel with house wiring system
  4. A circuit breaker is connected in series with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in series with house wiring system

hintHint:

A circuit breaker is connected in series.

The correct answer is: A circuit breaker is connected in series with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in series with house wiring system


    • For protecting electrical appliances at home a circuit breaker is connected in series with house wiring system and a fuse is connected in series with house wiring system.
    • If the current going through the fuse is too great then the wire in the fuse melts and breaks the flow of current.
