When does a fuse cut off current ? How does it do it ? |
|
Answer» A fuse cuts off current when the current exceeds a safe value (due to short circuiting or overloading). When the current becomes large, it heats the fuse wire too much. Since the melting point of fuse wire is low, it melts and breaks the circuit. Thus, current in the circuit is cut off. |

What is earth wire ? How it works in our domestic circuit ? |
|
Answer» The earth wire gives a safe route for the current if the live wire touches the outer casing. Livewire is A wire carrying electric current. The metallic body is connected to the earth wire, which provides a low resistance-conducting path for the current. It ensures that any leakage of current of the metallic body the appliance will flow to the earth only and the user may not get a severe shock. |
|
| 46. |
Distinguish between the terms ‘overloading’ and ‘short-circuiting ‘ as used in domestic circuits. |
|
Answer» Live wire coming in contact with the neutral wire is known as short circuit. When too many electrical appliances of high power rating are switched on at the same time or are connected to a single socket, they draw extremely large current. This is known as overloading. |
|
| 47. |
Give the significance of the following in a domestic circuit:(i) electric meter(ii) earthing |
|
Answer» (i) Electric meter: It is used to record the consumption of electrical energy in kWh in the circuit. (ii) Earthing : It prevents electric shock. The earth wire is joined to the metal case of the appliance and provides a low resistance conducting pattern for the current. |
|
| 48. |
List two precautions that should be taken to avoid overloading. |
|
Answer» (i) Too many appliances should not be connected to a single socket. (ii) The fuse of current rating 5A and 15A should be separately used in the domestic circuit. |
