... QUESTION ONE: SWITCH BOUNCE When an ideal switch is closed, the contacts touch one another and the circuit is completed instantaneously. In many real switches the contacts will ‘bounce’ a few times before making permanent contact. This means that the circuit is switched on and off rapidly as the co ...

... The main disadvantage is that, if one component in a series circuit fails, then all the components in the circuit fail because the circuit has been broken. A parallel circuit is rather like two or more series circuits connected to the same energy source. 5. Propose a parallel circuit consisting of a ...

Circuit breaker
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city.
