### Understanding Circuit Diagrams: Detailed Analysis

**Figure A7** depicts a simplified electrical circuit diagram. This diagram is used to understand the flow of electricity and the functionality of various components within a system when a particular action is taken.

**Detailed View of Figure A7:**

- The diagram includes several key elements:
  - **Push Buttons (A, B, C):** These are manual switches that control the flow of current when pressed.
  - **Auxiliary Contact (AUX. C1):** This component is linked to the coil C1 and changes state when the coil is energized.
  - **Coil (C1):** When energized, this coil can change the state of its associated contacts.
  - **Overload Contact (OC):** This is a protective component ensuring the circuit is opened in case of an overload.
  - **Line Numbers (1 and 2):** These represent different points in the electrical system, showing the path of current.

**Question Analysis:**

**1. In Figure A7, what happens when push button C is pressed down?**

- **A.** B opens, the coil energizes, and a path is complete to 2.
- **B.** Nothing (Both C and E need to be pressed to close the circuit.)
- **C.** The coil (C1) energizes, the auxiliary contact (C1) closes, and a path is complete to 2.
- **D.** D closes, the auxiliary contact C1 closes, and the overload contact opens.

**Explanation:**
- Pressing push button **C** is an action that influences the components in the circuit. Understanding the effect of this action helps us comprehend how the circuit responds.
- **Option A** suggests that button B opening causes the coil to energize.
- **Option B** implies nothing happens because both buttons C and E need to be pressed.
- **Option C** means that pressing C energizes coil C1, closing the auxiliary contact and completing the path to point 2.
- **Option D** indicates that pressing D would close the auxiliary contact C1 and open the overload contact.

**Correct Answer:**
- **C.** When C is pressed, the coil (C1) energizes, the auxiliary contact (C1) closes, and a path is complete to 2.
