Question
what do tripped circuit breakers and blown fuses indicate?
too much distortion in a circuit
too much resistance in a circuit
too much current in a circuit
too much pressure in a circuit
Circuit breakers trip and fuses blow to protect circuits from damage. They do so when the current flowing through the circuit exceeds their rated capacity. High - current situations can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. Resistance and pressure are not the direct causes for tripping breakers or blowing fuses, and circuit distortion is not the main reason either.
