1. Define the following terms:
a. Short circuit
B. A closed circuit
C. Overload
d. A fuse
Answers
Short Circuit:-A bad electrical connection that causes a machine to stop working.
A closed circuit:-Closed-circuit television, also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.
Overload:-To put too many people or things into or onto something, to give somebody too much things.
A fuse:-A small piece of wire in an electrical system, machine, etc. that melts and breaks if there is too much power. This stops the flow of electricity and prevents fire or damage.
Answer:
Short Circuit : A short circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path, often where essentially no (or a very low) electrical impedance is encountered.
A Closed Circuit : An electric circuit is a path in which electrons (or current) flow. If the circuit is incomplete or broken, the current doesn't flow. ... If the circuit is complete, the current flows. This type of circuit is called a Closed Circuit.
Overload : An electric overload occurs when too much current passes through electric wires. The wires heat and can melt, with the risk of starting a fire.
A Fuse : A fuse is a safety device which limits current in circuit as a result it prevents damages to electrical circuits and possible fires. Fuses used in electrical appliances.
