Give TWO advantages parallel gives over series in terms of devices we plug in that have sizeable resistance. b. Breakers and Fuses are device used to keep circuits safe. They work by limiting the amount of Voltage or Current? (Circle One) c. Why is too much of the answer from part “b" dangerous? Be specific and use equation(s)! d. A single device that uses lots of electricy (voltage and or current) is LESS likely to trigger/trip/pop/break a fuse or breaker than many device that use smaller amount of electricy, why?
