14.	What are the harmful effects of the overloading in an electric supply when does it occur?
Answer» Every supply has a capacity to bear a maximum load, i.e., the power that can be supplied has a limit. Sometimes, the number of appliances which are switched on at the same time have power more than the capacity of the line. This is called overloading. In this situation, wires of the supply get heated due to extremely large current flowing through them and the circuit may catch fire. To avoid this fire, we use an electric fuse in the circuit.

\( \sqrt{75}-\sqrt{45}+\sqrt{50}-\sqrt{32} \)

Answer»

\(\sqrt{75} - \sqrt{45} + \sqrt{50} - \sqrt{32}\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Population growth and development The correct answer is Population growth and development. Malthusianism is the idea in which population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply or other resources is linear, which reduces living standards to the point of triggering a population die-off. Malthusianism is also known as the population trap, Malthusian trap, Malthusian check, Malthusian crisis, Malthusian specter. Malthusian catastrophe occurs when population growth outpaces agricultural production, causing famine or war, resulting in depopulation and poverty.
