Answer 2

Answer:

No, this is not correct sentence.

Explanation:

1. A water heater requires higher energy circuit with a minimum of 240 Volts and 25-30 Amp electric circuit.

2. So, when it is connected to a lower energy 5A electric circuit, overloading can lead to short circuit leading to circuit breakage and damage to the heater.

3. The thermostat allows the current to flow through the inner wires which develop resistance that produces heat to heat the water.
