Which circuit protection device is normally found in the engine compartment near the battery?
The circuit protection device typically found in the engine compartment near the battery is a fuse or a fusible link. These devices are designed to protect the electrical system from overloads and short circuits by breaking the circuit when excessive current flows. In some vehicles, you might also find a fuse box or relay box that houses multiple fuses and relays for various electrical components.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a double and single circuit circulation?
a single circuit has only one source of energy, like a battery compartment (no matter the amount of batteries) a double circuit has two sources of energy, like two batter compartments
What is the purpose of the battery in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
What jobs dose a battery do in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
What does the positive side of the battery do?
When connected to the cable which normally runs to the starter it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
Can a varistor be used as a circuit protection device?
No, a circuit protection device must open the circuit on a fault current or overload.
How does the battery current flow in an electrical circuit?
In an electrical circuit, the battery current flows from the positive terminal of the battery, through the circuit components, and back to the negative terminal of the battery in a continuous loop.
What effect can be experienced by placing a 15a fuse in a slot rated for 5a on an electrical circuit?
For a circuit that is operating normally, it will continue to operate normally. However, by replacing the correct fuse with one of a higher rating, you are removing the circuit's overcurrent protection and, in the event of a fault, the conductors and load may become damaged. Incidentally, the symbol for ampere is 'A', not 'a'.
Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?
The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.
If you have a circuit consisting of a battery and a wire What two factors determine the amount of current in the circuit?
The voltage of the battery, and the resistance of the circuit (including the resistance of the wire and the internal resistance of the battery).
What job does the battery in a circuit?
To provide power for the circuit.
Can a dead battery break the circuit?
Yes, a dead battery can break the circuit. A dead battery cannot provide the necessary voltage to power the circuit and keep it running, which will result in the circuit not functioning properly or at all.
What is the purpose of the batteries in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
