Question

Which of the following is a reason for excessive current in electrical circuits?

I. Direct touching of wires

II. Connection of many devices to a single socket

A Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

One reason for excessive currents in electrical circuits is the direct touching of wires . This may happen if the insulation on the wires has come off due to wear and tear. Too many appliances on a single socket implies too much load is shared across several nodes. The current will rise much higher as a result of this.
