6. Question
1 point(s)Match the following definitions with their correct term.
Sort elements
- prevents current overload in a circuit by melting a wire if too much current passes through which inhibits the flow of electricity.
- a switch that opens when electrical current in a circuit is too high.
- material wrapped around an electrical wire (usually rubber) that protects people from touching bare wires and also prevents short circuits.
- the transfer of extra charge through a conductor to Earth which prevents electrical charge from grounding through other objects (causes short circuiting) or through you
- Fuse
