(a) What is a fuse?

[ 1 mark/ markah]

(b) Explain the advantages of parallel circuit in a house wiring system.

[ 4 marks/ markah]

(c) An immersion heater with specifications of 240V, 500W is used to boil water. The
efficiency of that immersion heater is 85%.

(i) What is meant by 240V 500W?

[ 1 mark/ markah]

(ii) Calculate the electric current that passes through the immersion heater.
[ 2 marks/ markah]

(iii) Calculate the output power of the immersion heater

[ 2 marks/ markah]

(d) Fuse takes some time to melt or blow. A fast-blowing fuse is required to protect
semiconductor equipment’s which cannot stand high current surge for too long.
When a fuse blows, sparking may occur and produces high temperature. The fuse
wire is placed in a sheath or cartridge as shown in diagram below to prevent it’s
sparks from causing damage.

Table below shows the specifications of five fuses that can be used to protect a
semiconductor device.

P Medium Rubber 10 A Medium
Q Thin Glass 10 A Low
R Thin Ceramic 13 A Low
S Thin Plastic 10 A High
T Thick Ceramic 13 A Low
Determine the most suitable fuse to protect a 240 V, 2400 W semiconductor
device.
Study the specifications of all five fuses based on the following aspects:

- The thickness of wire. - The rating of the fuse.

- the cartridge type - The melting points.

Explain the suitability of the aspects and justify your choice.
