alleryHow is a fuse connected so all protected current passes through it?
AAcross the earth connection only
BIn parallel with the load
COutside the current path
DIn series with the circuit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. In series with the circuit
A fuse is placed in series so the protected current passes through its element.
