Multiple Choice

Question image

A student draws a circuit, shown below, to show how an appliance should be connected to a fuse and the household mains.

Identify the error in the circuit.

1

The fuse rating is too high.

2

The fuse rating is too low.

3

The fuse is connected wrongly.

4

The switch is connected wrongly.   

28

Multiple Choice

In a household electrical circuit, why are fuses and switches always placed in the live wire?

1

A break in the live wire cuts off the appliance from the voltage supply.

2

A break in the neutral wire would not stop current in the circuit.

3

The live wire carries a greater current.

4

The neutral wire carries no current.

29

Multiple Choice

Where should a fuse always be connected?

1

in a separate circuit

2

in the earth wire

3

in the live wire

4

in the neutral wire

30

Multiple Choice

how does earth wire work to protect the users?

1

When the live wire touches the metal casing of the appliance,

large current flows through the earth wire.

This causes the fuse to blow

and the appliance is isolated from high voltage.

This protects the users from getting an electric shock.

2

When there is excessive current flow,

the earth wire will melt and break the circuit.
