As the higher temperature produced in the circuit due to these reasons makes the fuse wire to melt and the flow of current stops. Thus the circuit and the appliances are protected.

Text Book Page No. 67

Question 57.
What are the differences between ordinary fuse and MCB?
Answer:
Ordinary fuse works making use of heating effect of electricity while MCB works mak-ing use of heating and magnetic effects of electricity. The current in the circuit may increase due to reasons such as short circuit, overload, excess flow of current or any problems in the insulation.

As the higher temperature produced in the circuit due to these reasons makes the fuse wire to melt and the flow of current stops. Thus the circuit and the appliances are protected. MCB automatically breaks the circuit whenever there is an excess flow of current due to short circuit or overloading. After rectifying the circuit we can switch on the MCB and make the circuit as it was.

Question 58.
What is the advantage of MCB over a safety fuse?
Answer:
MCB is more sensitive to current than fuse, In case of MCB, the faulty zone of electrical circuit can be easily identified, With MCB it is very simple to resume to the supply, MCB is reusable and hence has less maintenance and replacement cost.

Question 59.
What is the function of ELCB/RCCB in the circuit?
Answer:
ELCB helps to break the circuit automatically whenever there is a current leak due to insulation failure or any other reason. Hence a person touching the electric circuit or a device does not get an electric shock. Nowadays RCCB, which ensures more safety than ELCB is made use of. In an ELCB one end of the relay coil is connected to the outer metallic cover and the other end is earthed.

If current leaks into the earth due to insulation failure or any other reason, a potential difference is developed between the ends of the relay coil. As a result, ELCB gets tripped off if the current exceeds a particular limit. This is with the help of a relay. In RCCB there is a provision to distinguish between the phase current and neutral current and to break the circuit if needed.

Question 60.
In the figure, which are the lines that are connected to the coil of the electric iron?

Answer:
Earth, Phase and Neutral lines.

Question 61.
If the phase line comes into contact with the body of the appliance due to defects in the insulation, what happens to the person who touches the body of the appliance?
Answer:
The person will get shock.

Question 62.
How can safety be ensured using a three-pin plug?
Answer:
The pin E of a three-pin plug comes into contact with the earth line. This pin is now connected to the body of the appliance. If the body comes into contact with an electrie connection, electricity flows to the earth through the earth wire. The flow of current to the earth through a circuit of low resistance increases the current. Hence heat generated in the fuse wire increases, the fuse wire melts and the circuit is broken. This will protect the instrument and the person handling it.

Question 63.
Which line comes into contact with the pin E.
Answer:
Earthline.

Question 64.
Howdoestheearth pin differs from the other pins? Why is it made different in this way?
Answer:
The earth pin is thick and long. As it is long it first comes in contact with the earth. Similarly, it loses the contact with the earth only at the end. As it is thick it offers less resistance. It carries more current than the amount of current coming from the phase.

Question 65.
Which part of the instrument is connected to the earth line?
Answer:
The earth line is connected to the metal casing of the electrical appliances.

Question 66.
Is TV working on AC or DC?
Answer:
on AC

Question 67.
We get DC from a mobile phone battery. But we use AC for charging it. What may be the reason?

Question 25.
Back e.m.f reduces the effective, voltage in the circuit. What is your opinion about this statement? Substantiate.
Answer:
When an AC passes through a solenoid, a changing magnetic field is generated around it. Due to this, an induced emf is generated inside the solenoid. This induced emf is in a direction opposite to the emf applied on the coil. Hence this is called back emf. Back e.m.f reduces the effective voltage in the circuit.

Answer:
a. \(\frac { V_s }{ V_p }\) = \(\frac { N_s }{ N_p }\)
V_s × V_p = N_s × N_p
V_s = 12 V
N_p = 1000
V_p = 240 V
N_s = V_s × \(\frac { V_s }{ V_p }\)
= 12 V × \(\frac { 1000 }{ 240 V }\)
= 50 turns
