A fuse is connected_______________?
Correct answer: A. in series with circuit
- A. in series with circuit
- B. in parallel with circuit
- C. either in series or in parallel with circuit
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The fuse must carry the circuit current and interrupt that same current when it becomes excessive, so it is placed in series with the load. A parallel fuse would not reliably carry or interrupt the circuit current.
