A circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the circuit it is to protect.
Explanation:
Let us understand why do we need circuit breakers.
Circuit breaker is a protective device which will break the circuit in case of emergency like the appliance gets short or the wiring may get shorted in between. Also it is provided to cut-off electricity to a specific part of wiring in a house/building etc. for non-emergency situations, say for the purpose of maintenance.
Invariably it is placed in series with the live wire at the switch board or circuit breaker box, so that as soon as circuit breaker trips/switched off, no electrical wiring in the circuit it is protecting should remain live.
The mains circuit breaker is placed in series with the wiring of the dwelling unit and the Electricity incoming point of the Electric Supply Company.
The remaining circuit breakers are connected in parallel to each other to various distribution points/rooms. If connected in series, it will be impossible to isolate a section/part of circuit.
However, each circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the part circuit it is to protect.

When fuel and air are compressed in the compression stroke, ...... a. each molecule of fuel is heated to its flash point b. each
alexira [117]

None of the choices is an appropriate response.

There's no such thing as the temperature of a molecule.  Temperature and
pressure are both outside-world manifestations of the energy the molecules
have.  But on the molecular level, what it is is the kinetic energy with which
they're all scurrying around.

When the fuel/air mixture is compressed during the compression stroke,
the temperature is raised to the flash point of the mixture.  The work done
during the compression pumps energy into the molecules, their kinetic
energy increases, and they begin scurrying around fast enough so that
when they collide, they're able to stick together, form a new molecule,
and release some of their kinetic energy in the form of heat.

select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral 541 5 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.0 * 10^2
USPshnik [31]
To find the scientific notation, you need to divide at the decimal by the power of 10. So since there are 2 powers of 10, what you want to do is move the decimal 2 places to the left which will give you: .054

How does your Liver work with your Bladder in your body?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The liver filters the blood of toxins before it continues through the body. It also removes excess sugar from the arteries. Your kidney then further filters the blood for water-soluble waste and toxins to be excreted and finally, your bladder gets read of that water-soluble waste.
