There are 2 different types of these devices: circuit breakers (which can be reset after the problem is fixed) and fuses (which must be replaced after the problem is fixed).

What is a device used to open and close an electric circuit?
The device is called a switch.
What is the function of electric circuit control device?
the function of the control device is that you can know if the circuit is on or off
What is the device to break a circuit?
Switch (mechanical or electrical), breaker or fuse.a switch
Which device controls the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
Flow of electricity in a circuit is controlled by using 'resistor'.
Which electric safety device easily melts whe there is overheating or overloading in the circuit?
fuse?
What is a device called which is used to break an electric circuit?
fridge thank you
What is a device used to open and close an electric circuit?
The device is called a switch.
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What is the function of a combination pliers in an electric circuit?
for made of electric circuit safety device,
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What is the function of electric circuit control device?
the function of the control device is that you can know if the circuit is on or off
What is the simplest protective device for an electric circuit?
Most typically, the most common and easiest-obtainable protective device is - a fuse. A fuse is such a device that is designed to break the circuit if certain conditions are met (typically a level of voltage, current, or a combination of the two).
What is the simplest protective device for electric circuit?
Most typically, the most common and easiest-obtainable protective device is - a fuse. A fuse is such a device that is designed to break the circuit if certain conditions are met (typically a level of voltage, current, or a combination of the two).
How does a switch control an electric device?
A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.
What is the function of the voltmeter in an electric circuit?
A voltmeter is a device to measure the voltage in a electric circuit, and must have be connected in parallel to it.
What is the Simplest protective device for an electric current?
A fuse is the simplest protective device for over current in an electric circuit.
What device opens and closes an electric circuit?
A switch is a device that is used to open and close an electrical circuit that is is connected into.
