Question
Chapter 6.3, Problem 26R
To determine
To explain: If a circuit breaker should be connected in parallel to the circuit that it is protecting.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A circuit breaker is a safety device that stops the current in a circuit when the circuit gets overheated, hence preventing a fire.
A parallel circuit has multiple branches for flow of current. A circuit breaker connected in parallel with the circuit will stop current in only one path when it switches off due to overheating. Current will continue to flow in other paths. Overheating in all components will not be prevented and a fire will be caused.
Conclusion:
The circuit breaker must not be connected in parallel to the circuit that it is protecting.

- Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal?
