Is a handphone an electrical appliance?
Yes, a hand phone can be classed as an electrical appliance.
What will happen to an appliance if the fuse rating is less than the current an appliance needed?
The appliance will not work because the fuse will blow every time.
Is a base board heater an electrical appliance?
Yes, an electrical base board heater can be classified as an appliance.
When we 'switch on an electrical appliance' what change are we making to the circuit?
By 'switching on an electrical appliance' we are completing (closing) the electrical circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the device to work.
Can you use a 32V 15A fuse if the appliance calls for a 125V 15A fuse?
No
How can electrical testing meters aid in the troubleshooting process of an appliance?
Electrical testing meters can definitely aid in the troubleshooting process of an appliance. This is because if it reads "no voltage" when plugged into the outlet, then the fuse or circuit is at fault, not the appliance.
Is an iPad an electrical appliance?
yes
Is a handphone an electrical appliance?
Yes, a hand phone can be classed as an electrical appliance.
What is meant by ratting of fuse?
A fuse is given a various rating (strength). For instance, a home appliance (washing machine, etc) would usually have a fuse with a 13 amp rating. While a low powered lamp would only merit a 2 or 5 amp fuse rating. It is important to use a fuse of the correct rating in amps for each electrical appliance.
What will happen to an appliance if the fuse rating is less than the current an appliance needed?
The appliance will not work because the fuse will blow every time.
Is a base board heater an electrical appliance?
Yes, an electrical base board heater can be classified as an appliance.
When you pull out the plug connected to an electrical appliance you often observe a spark to which property of the appliance is this related?
I think it is due to the resistance to the electrical appliance, the resistance offered by the electrical appliance works as a load in the circuit and when load is removed it causes sparking.
How does the fuse wire save your electrical appliances?
The fuse wire is rated for a specific amount of amperage. If the amperage exceeds that rating, the fuse wire will quickly melt. The current flow in the circuit is interrupted, thereby protecting the appliance from an overload condition.
When we 'switch on an electrical appliance' what change are we making to the circuit?
By 'switching on an electrical appliance' we are completing (closing) the electrical circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the device to work.
How does a fuse wire save an appliance from high electric current?
A fuse link will melt and interrupt the flow of current to the appliance before it can get high enough to damage the appliance or wiring.
If you notice a burning smell or smoke coming from an electrical appliance what should you do?
Turn it off at the wall and unplug it, then put the appliance down somewhere to cool off, away from anything else that could catch fire. The fuse could be broken.
Will the power consumed by an electrical appliance increase with a reduction of applied voltage?
Power consumed by an electrical appliance will increase with a reduction of applied voltage.
