Answer:

1. will blow because the total current in this circuit is 14 A which is greater than 12 A.

Explanation:

According to Kirchoff current law (KCL) which states that the total current flowing in a circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch current.

If the supply current is greater than the sum of the individual branch current, then the load will collapse or blow off.

In the question given, the total current of the fuse is 12A

Sum of branch currents = current in branch 1 + current in branch 2

= 8A+6A

= 14A

As we can see that the supply current is lower than the sum of the branch current, this will cause the fuse to blow because some of the branch current will be sent back on the fuse and thereby causing the fuse to blow.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Terms in this set (25) Mendel crossed true-breeding plants having yellow peas with plants having green peas. The resulting plant had all yellow peas. An F1 cross resulted in 3/4ths of the plants having yellow peas and 1/4th of the plants having green peas.
