Question 12 Answer Note

(a) 1 A fuse is a very thin wire, which either melts or vaporizes when
too much current flows through it
(b) 1 - A parallel circuit can run several devices using the full voltage Max 4 marks
1 of the supply.
1 - If one device fails, the others will continue running normally
1 - If the device shorts, the other devices will receive no voltage,
preventing overload damage.
 - A failure of one component does not lead to the failure of the
other components.
- More components may be added in parallel without the need
for more voltage.
- Each electrical appliance in the circuit has it own switch.
(c)(i) 1 - The electrical appliance use 240 V of voltage to generates 500
W of power.
(c)(ii) 1 Current = Power/Voltage With correct unit

1 Current = 500/240 = 2.08 A

Characteristics
Thin fuse wire
Ceramic cartridge
Fuse rating is 13 A
Low melting point
R is chosen because
Explanation
Less space needed/ to carry a
limited electrical current/ less
mass hence low heat
capacity/ shorter time to heat
up to melting point and blow.
Can withstand higher
temperature because sparks
created by high voltage,
240V can be huge/
Maximum rating must be
higher than normal current.
For fast blow/ Melting faster
when excessive current flow/
Easy to cut the current flow.
Because it has thin fuse wire,
ceramic cartridge, fuse rating
is 13 A and low melting
point.
