Question
Chapter 28, Problem 1OQ
To determine
The circuit breaker wire arrangement in the circuit.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (a) in series with the device it is protecting.
Explanation of Solution
The circuit breaker wire is arranged in series so that if the current is increased in the circuit from its maintained values, the circuit breaker wire trips and makes the circuit open. So that safety of the appliance is maintained.
Conclusion:
Thus, the circuit breaker wired in series with the device.
Therefore option (a) in series with the device it is protecting; is correct.
