When an electric circuit said to be loaded? state two measure to avoid it
Answers
Overloading : The current flowing in domestic wiring at a particular time depends on the power ratings of the applinces being used. If too many electrical appliances of high power rating are switched on at the same time, they draw an extremely large current from the circuit. This is known as overloading the circuit.
Measures to avoid overloading :
(1) Many electrical appliances of high power rating should not be switched on at the same time.
(2) Too many appliances should not be connected to a single socket
3)An electric fuse. When a short circuit takes place, or when overloading takes place, the current becomes large and heats the fuse wire is much. Since the melting point of fuse wire is much lower than copper wires, the fuse wire melts and breaks the circuit. When the fuse wire breaks, electricity any damage can be done to the rest of the wiring.
an electrical circuit is said to be overloaded when many appliances are connected to one socket which makes to drive charges beyond its capacity.
measures to avoid overloading:
we should not connect more appliances to one point.
every appliance has a definite fuse which makes device to be safe.
