Question

Explain domestic circuits. Class 10 please provide a answer based on points. It should not be tough. Best answer will be mark as brainliest. PLEASE help ASAP as I have science PRE BOARD tommorrw.

Answer 1

We receive power in our house through a main supply, commonly called mains.It is supplied through overhead cables or underground cables.

There are 3 types of wires in domestic circuits : Earth Wire, Live Wire, Neutral Wire.Earth wire: It is generally green in color. It is usually connected to a metal plate placed in the earth near the house as a safety measure to ground gadgets that have a metallic body. (refrigerator, toaster).

In case of charges leaking on to the metallic body, the charges gets grounded and thus prevent shocks.Live wire: Positive wiregenerally red in colorNeutral wire: Negative wiregenerally black in colorThe potential difference (or voltage) supplied in our country is 220VWhen they come into our houses, they pass through a circuit called a Fuse. Whenever there is a high voltage, voltage fluctuation, overloading, short circuit the fuse melts and prevents the high voltage reaching the electric appliance. This saves the electrical gadget.Then through the metre board in the house, these wires pass on to different electric gadgetsGenerally 2 types of electric circuits are used at homes15A : Appliances which have higher power ratings. (geysers, refrigerators, ACs)5A: Appliances which have lower power ratings. (TV, bulbs, fans)

Domestic Electric circuits


We receive power in our house through a main supply, commonly called mains.It is supplied through overhead cables or underground cables.

In case of charges leaking on to the metallic body, the charges gets grounded and thus prevent shocks.

Live wire: Positive wire generally red in color neutral wire: Negative wire generally black in color the potential difference (or voltage) supplied in our country is 220VWhen they come into our houses, they pass through a circuit called a fuse.
