Question 1.
(a) What do you understand by the term electric fuse ?
Electric fuse : “Is a safety device which is used to limit the current in an electric circuit. The use of a fuse safe guards the circuit and the appliances connected in that circuit from being damaged.”

(b) Name a material from which an electric fuse is made.
Material used for fuse is ‘Alloy of lead and Tin’ having low melting point and high resistance.”

(c) State two properties of a material which makes it suitable for an electric fuse.
Two properties of material are :

1. Low melting point
2. High resistance.

(d) Draw a diagram of a fuse wire, connected in a fuse socket.

Question 2.
(a) Why is a fuse wire always placed in a live wire ?
So that ‘The fuse may melt first, before current reaches the appliance”.

(b) How does fuse wire protect an electric circuit ?
When current in the circuit exceeds the specified value (due to any reason such as high voltage, short circuiting etc.) the fuse wire gets heated up to the extent that it melts. As a result a gap is produced and the circuit beaks. The current does not flow through the live wire and appliance is saved.

(c) Two fuse wires of the same length are rated 15A and 5A. Which of the two is thicker and why ?
5A wire is thicker as resistance is α 1/a Thicker the wire less is resistance and electrons can run freely with less collisions.

(d) Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse wire with a copper wire?
“Copper has low resistivity and high melting point and does not serve the purpose of fuse.”

Question 3.
(a) What do you understand by the term earthing ?
Earthing : or Grounding : “Bringing the appliance to zero potential”.
“Earthing means to connect the metal case of electrical appliance to the earth (at zero potential) by means of a metal wire is called “Earth wire”.

(b) How does earthing protect a user from receiving an electric shock?
When we connect the earth wire to the metal case of the electrical appliance by using three pinplug.
The metal casing of the appliance will now always remain at zero potential of the earth, this will avoid the risk of shock if we touch the metal body as the current passes directly to earth through the earth wire.

(c) How is a household circuit earthed ?
The neutral and earth wires on supply end (power station) are connected potential together, so that both of them are at zone potential and inside the house live and neutral wires are connected to the input terminals of kWh meter, where as earth wire is connected to the body of kWh meter. The live wire coming out from the out put terminals of the kWh meter has another fuse in it, which is commonly called main fuse. The neutral wire and earthwire is common to all circuits.

(d) Explain how the fuse melts when a short circuit appliance gets earthed.
When an earthed appliance gets short circuited, then current from its metal body flows into the earth. Since earth does not offer any resistance, therefore magnitude of the current in the circuit of a short-circuited appliance suddenly rises to a very high value.
This rise in magnitude of current in turn overloads the circuit, and hence. The fuse in that circuit melts.

Question 4.                            Class-10 Goyal Electric Energy
(a) What is the function of a switch in an electric circuit?
Function of a switch :
Function of a switch is to connect or disconnect an electric appliance in the electric circuit.

(b) Why is switched placed in a live wire ?
Let the appliance (heater) when connected in a neutral wire, when the switch is in the off position and even if no current is flowing through the heater and it is not operating, how ever the heater is in contact with live wire and heating element is at the same potential as the live wire. Thus if we touch the heating coil of the heater, current will flow through our body giving us a severe shock and may prove fatal, this proves that switch should always be placed in the live wire.

(c) what consequences will follow, if a switch is placed in the neutral wire ?
Even if switch is in off position the appliance will be at the potential of live wire and current will flow through the appliance.

Question 5.
(a) Why is household wiring done in parallel ? Give at least two reasons ?
Two advantages of parallel wiring :

1. Electrical appliances get same voltage (220 V) as that of the power supply line.
2. If one electrical appliance stops working due to some defect, then all other appliances keep working normally.

(b) What are the disadvantages of wiring in series in a house?

1. Over all resistance increases and current from the power supply is low.
2. If one electrical appliance stops working, due to some defect, then all other appliances also stop working.

Question 6.
Draw a circuit diagram for distribution of power from pole to the main switch and label it
Circuit Diagram For Distribution Of Power From Pole To Main Switch :

Question 7.
Name two systems of distribution of power in a house.Give the advantages and disadvantages of each system.
Two systems of power distribution.

1. All appliances are connected parallel and can be independently switched on and switched off.
2. The neutral wire and earth wire is common to all circuits.
3. From the main distribution board, circuits are taken out for different rooms.

1. It is expensive and takes a long time to install.
2. It requires plugs and sockets of different current value for different appliances depending upon their power rating.
3. When a fuse in one particular line melts. It disconnects all appliances in that circuit.

(ii) Ring system :

1. Every appliance has its own fuse and can be handled without disturbing other appliances.
2. Length of wire used is very small.
3. It is easier to install and maintain.

Question 8.        Class-10 Goyal Electric Energy
(a) State the colour of (i) live wire, (ii) neutral wire, (iii) earth wire according to international convention
(b) State the position of (i) earth pin, (ii) live pin and (iii) neutral pin in an electric plug.
(c) Why is the earth terminal of a plug made (i) thicker, (ii) longer
(a) The colour of

1. Live wire —– Brown
2. Neutral wire —– Light Blue .
3. Earth wire —– geen or Yellow

(b) Position of

1. Earth pin —– is Long and Thicker so that it should not enter live or neutral cylinder of socket.
2. Live pin —– L is on the right when earth pin goes into E, live pingoes into L.
3. Neutral-pin —– N is on the left.When earth pin goes into E, live wire in L automatically neutral goes into N.

(c) Earth-pin is made thicker, so that it should not enter other cylinder of socket and helps in putting right pin in right place.
Longer —– So that earth connection is done first. This ensure the user will not get a shock.
