प्रश्न
Nowadays MCBs are used in homes, for stop the current in the circuit which suddenly increases.
उत्तर
- Electrical appliances used in homes like geyser, heater, motor, oven, washing machine, etc. have high power consumption.
- If such appliances are connected simultaneously, a large amount of current flows in the circuit.
- This current may exceed permissible value and cause overloading.
Hence, nowadays MCBs are used in homes, to stop the current in the circuit which suddenly increases due to overloading.

Set up the circuit shown in Figure again. Move the key to ‘ON’ position and watch carefully in which direction the compass needle gets deflected. Switch ‘OFF’ the current. Now keeping rest of the circuit intact, reverse the connections at the terminal of the cell. Again switch ‘on’ the current. Note the direction in which the needle gets deflected. Think of an explanation.
