Answer:

GFCI - " Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter"

Working Principle - The GFCI operates by measuring the flow of current into the circuit to that of flowing out. And then operate as accordingly to the situations.

Importance - The GFCI are used for the purpose of protection against electrocution and mainly are installed where the circuit may come in contact with water.

Explanation:

If the difference between the current leaving and returning through the current transformer of the GFCI exceeds 5mA, the solid-state circuitry opens the switching contacts and de-energizes the circuit.

As the GFCI can detect the current even in amount of currents as small as 4 to 5 milliamps. Now in case there is any leakage current from the circuit, so , the GFCI will respond by shutting off the system or circuit in order to avoid any sort of loss.

Answer:

The GFCI shuts down the circuit when it senses a current leakage.

Explanation:

The ground of a circuit should truly be ground. But if the ground circuit is not truly ground, then someone could get shocked. The GFCI monitors the possibility of current flow to ground. If this occurs, then the GFCI stops all flow of current, for safety reasons.

It also monitors if the current flow is interrupted. Say you drop something that is plugged in, into a sink of water. The GFCI should note the current loss, and shut down the circuit.

GFCI stands for: Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter

In python please!! Write the definition of a function named countPos that needs integer values from standard input until there a

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python it doesn't use any loops, instead it uses a recursive function in order to continue asking the user for the inputs and count the number of positive values. If anything other than a number is passed it automatically ends the program.

def countPos(number=input("Enter number: "), counter=0):

try:

number = int(number)

if number > 0:

counter += 1

newNumber = input("Enter number: ")

return countPos(newNumber, counter)

else:

newNumber = input("Enter number: ")

return countPos(newNumber, counter)

except:

print(counter)

print("Program Finished")

countPos()

What is the purpose of a register in a CPU? Describe three types of registers.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

I hope this answer is correct

Explanation:

Internal registers include the instruction register (IR), memory buffer register (MBR), memory data register (MDR), and memory address register (MAR). The instruction register fetches instructions from the program counter (PC) and holds each instruction as it is executed by the processor.

Many people use relative location on a daily basis by using __________. A.

kkurt [141]

Many people use relative location on a daily basis by using B) their mental maps of an area.
You know what a certain area looks like, at least approximately, so you don't need to use these other options on a day to day basis. You can rely on your mental maps to do the work for you.
