List two precautions to be taken to avoid overloading in the domestic circuit. Also state one difference between overloading and short circuiting.

Answer»

Precautions :

(i) A fuse of appropriate rating should be used in the circuit.

(ii) Too many appliances should never be connected to a single socket.

Overloading: Occurs when a large number of higher current drawing appliances are switched on at the same time and the total current is drawn through the circuit exceeds its rated value.

Short-circuiting: Occurs when the live wire comes in direct contact with neutral wire.
