- In a house, a circuit often includes multiple electrical outlets which are parallel-connected to a single voltage source. Each of these circuits also contains a 15-A circuit breaker. Design a parallel-connected circuit which shows three electrical outlets con-nected to a voltage source with a circuit breaker. What is the advantage of having out-lets parallel-connected, and why is a circuit breaker connected in series with the voltage source? Why is the circuit breaker considered a necessary safety item in the circuit?arrow_forward4. The heating element in an oven has a resistance of R =32 ohms. One of thewires connecting the oven to the 220 volt power source is loose, contributingan additional r = 5 ohms to the closed-loop circuit. What is the power Povenradiated in the oven, and what is the rate Pcontact at which heat is dissipatedat the loose contact? The looser is the connection, the greater is the resistance r: What value of r is most likely to cause a fire. Also agraph showing Pcontact versus rarrow_forwardA component requires 6.3-V across it with a current of 0.3 V. A second component requires 12.6-V at 0.15A. The two components are connected in series.
