What is wrong in this picture of a plug?

The Live and the Neutral have been swapped

The Earth and the Live have been swapped

The Neutral and the Earth have been swapped

double insulated tools are the tools which:

all metal parts are insulated form the live wire

has double wires and and ground wire

power = potential difference × current

power = potential difference / current

power = current squared × resistance

power = current squared / resistance

energy transferred = power × time

energy transferred = power / time

energy transferred = time / power

What is the purpose of a step up transformer

Increase p.d which decreases current, reducing energy dissipated to the surroundings

Decrease p.d which increases current, reducing energy dissipated to the surroundings

Increases p.d which increases current, reducing energy dissipated to the surroundings

Decrease p.d which decreases current, reducing energy dissipated to the surroundings

What is the purpose of a fuse

When the current is too high, it melts and breaks the circuit

When the current is the same as the fuse rating it breaks the fuse

When the potential difference is greater than the current it melts the fuse
