I watched the recorded video and it was helpful. Ans of home work question- 1. In our house we have parallel circuit connection because in parallel connection all the appliances get same voltage⚡️ as that of supply line as well as the overall resistance of rhe household circuit gets reduced and even high power rating appliances can work properly. 2. We use a fuse as a safety device. It is used to safeguard our electic domestic circuit. It is connected in series with the circuit. Two important properties that a fuse wire must have are- A very high resistance, this because it has to resist the flow of extra current than the prescribed specified amount in the circuit. A low melting point, this is because it follows Joule law of heating and has to break the circuit when current exceeds specified value. 3. We need to maintain 2 separate circuits one for low power devices and one for high power devices because the current drawn by both of them are of different in magnitude. And in order to safeguard our domestic circuit we need separate circuit for low power rating and high power rating devices. 4. Bonus question ans- The fuse is always connected to the live wire not with the neutral wire because we know the current in circuit entres from live wire and leaves from neutral wire and the live wire has 220 volts but neutral wire is ground and has potential of 0 volts. So if we would have connected the fuse in neutral wire then it still would have not proved to be helpful in any case because the devices connected can still draw current though then via live wire for a certain amount of time. This would damage the appliances. Therefore, fuse are connected in live / active wires not neutral. Thankyou. 🙏🙏
the fuse is always connected to the active wire because, if it is connected to the neutral wire, and suppose the circuit disconnects, then the devices will STILL have connection to the power sources for a brief amount of time, and they will still be able to draw some current, and this can damage the devices. whereas, if in the same case, if the fuse is connected to the active wire, then when the circuit breaks, the devices will NOT have connection to the power source and they will not be able to draw current. is it correct? lol anyways, thanks for all of your videos, they are very helpful!
@@NOTORIOUS895 cuz it still has 220V and -220V e.g. if you have a lamp switch that connect and disconnect the neutral wire, your lamp will able to dim shortly for frequent period, even though you turn it off, it is caused by hot wire still has free flow to that lamp
....Comparing is a good way for clarification.... The Indian electrical system is great, for understanding the American electrical system.....Thanks for sharing this video....It would be great if all major electrical systems were clarified, in any kind of lesson for a better comprehensive understanding... As is the case with all kinds of issues......
Aur aaj tak kabhi maine kisi video pe Aisa comment nahi kiya... But,, I"LL just say today... The way you explained is Awesome 🙂 I just got everything...
1.Parallel bcoz the appliances are independent of other appliances. Also, the equivalent resistance in parallel is less, & also The same voltage is applied to all appliances 2.Fuse is basically a wire (made from alloy of( Pb + Sn) , whose main function is to Melt when high current Passes through the circuit. It's conditions are - it should have high resistance so that it can oppose the incoming current - it should have low m. p. So that it can easily melt! Fuses & Switches are present in contact with live wire as when the circuit breaks, the appliances is not connected to high potential.. While, if we connect it through neutral wire, the appliances is still connected to high potential... Hence a person could get Shock. PS- new here.. And literally found this channel amazing
the fuse is never connected to the neutral wire just because if due to high terminal voltage or short circuit or even overloading of current in the circuit excess current flows through the neutral wire, the temperature of the fuse increases and upon reaching its melting point, it blows off and current immediately stops flowing into the circuit , but , here comes the trick, the live wire still remains connected to the appliance and as we know the live wire is connected to the main point of high potential supply(also called mains), and thus current still flows into it and any person touching the faulty appliance will get as u said sir, a nasty shock 😁😁, btw your teaching is too superb, hope i could touch your feet someday
Reason why the fuse is connected to the live wire : Because if we connect fuse to the neutral wire and in case of high voltage supply , the fuse would melt. But the potential difference would still exists across the device(i.e. potentiality at live wire would be more than +/-220v and potentiality at neutral wire would be 0v) so the current still flows and the device might be destroyed. And if we connect the fuse to the live wire , and during high voltage supply the fuse melts and the potential difference across the device will be the same(i.e. 0v potentiality in both the wiers) so the current would not flow and the device is safe Please reply if I am right 🙏
The fuse is always connected in the life wire of the circuit because if the fuse is put in the neutral wire then due to excessive flow of current when the fuse burns current stop flowing in the circuit but the appliances remain connected to the higher potential point of the supplied through the live wire now if a person touches the appliances he may get a shock as the person will come in contact with the live wire through the appliances.
just for clarification, a person is safe to touch 20,000 volts as long as power supply is low. P=VI so a person can touch a high voltage. The key thing here is that the power supply to our house is high and p.d is low. Hence current supply is very high leading to shocks
1. Parallel because each appliance can be used independently. In case of short circuit in rest wires can be used. 2. A fuse should have a high resistance and should have a low melting point. 3. We need to maintain to separate circuit because there are appliances which draw more current. In case if we attach them with a circuit have a fuse which operates on low current then the fuse will melt and the circuit will break. To prevent this appliances drawing more current are attached in separate circuit have a fuse which operates on greater amount of current. 4. If we connect them in neutral wire and if the fuse melts than the current will pass through the ground wire. The purpose of fuse will get defeated and excess current will continue to flow. Thus it is connected in live and not in neutral wire.
as the fuse is basically used to stoP the flow of current if there an excess flow of current..so when excess power is suPPlied by the main the current first flows through the red wire..and then through electric aliance and then back through neutral wire...so so as to let the fuse melt before the current reaches the circuit it is connected to red wire
Answer to questions 1- the circuits in our home are connected in parallel so that every device gets equal electric potential. 2- A fuse is a safety device which melts and cuts the connection when electric current exceeds a safer limit . It is made up of a substance which has high resistance anc low melting point. 3- We generally have two circuits in our house. One is power circuit and the other is lighting circuit. Lighting circuit is use to run low power consuming device like fan ,bulb etc whereas power circuit is used to run devices which consume more electric current like heater , geyser , air conditioner, grinder etc
4. Ans: fuse is connected to live wire because current entry point is through live wire wherein which high voltage can be restricted and leaves through neutral wire.
Ans to bonus question: Live wire is the one that carries the current to the device so if you want to prevent overflow of current, then you have to connect a fuse to the live wire and not neutral one as it will already be damaged before current even enters the neutral one!
I've known Khan Academy for years but today is the day when I subscribed after listening to your wonderful explanation. The one that I haven't throughout my life till date.
Thanks sir, fuse is connected to live wire because if it is connected to neutral wire then the exceesive current will damage device first before the fuse wire melts which is connected to neutral wire
That's what I used to think as well. But the current flows everywhere at the same time. (It doesn't first flow through live, then the devices and then through the neutral). So when the current exceeds the safe value, the fuse disconnects and the circuit will break before it has any chance to damage the device. This means even with fuse connected to neutral, our devices would be safe. So there must be another reason for this :)
@@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish sir, I tried to understand from other resources but I can't understand the correct reason for this. I will be grateful if you tell me the correct reason for this. Thank you sir for your reply.
Your phase/hot/live/positive and neutral/negative are reversed (Polarity reversed). The former (control by switch) should always be on the right side of the socket while the latter should always be on the left side of the socket.
Sir when circuit is completed with neutral wire which is taking back the current...then why we are saying that neutral wire has no current and there is no harm to touch neutral wire..when we are seeing here that neutral wire is bringing back the current...kindly reply
I asked this same question at 3 educational sites .and when i didn't get any reply..i thought to contact electrician and he told me everything about that...i again confirmed from other electrician same ans i got....and the same you have replied in your 1st video....just i saw...thanks sir❤❤
1.parallel 2.fuse should have low melting point and high resistance 3.two types of circuits are used so that appliances which need less current will not be affected by the more current needed appliances like AC, heater etc (Lightning circuit and power circuit)
Is it just me or someone else is also thinking about this? Fuses are and should be of least resistance so no voltage drops occurs through it. fuses are highly resistant only when they are blown up . Because whenever we check fuse on multimeter we check it on short circuit beep mode. Please guide
I think fuse is often connected to the live wire because when the flow of current exceeds from it's natural value then it would result in drastic destruction of the domestic appliances as we know that the neutral wire has a similar potential difference to that of the ground when current overflows may only increase to such a value which would not cause drastic damage to the appliances but this doesn't happens same as the case of live wire it possess huge amount of electricity through it which could damage our appliances that's why fuse is connected to the live wire. Is this correct ???
Can someone please tell me the answer of the question- " why the switch is always connected to the live wire?" Please tell me the answer of this question Khan Academy please 🙏
Hi there, This is so that the appliance or the switch board is not still conducting when it is switched off. This ensures safety of the user. Hope my ans helps! Thanks!
