Answer:

A circuit breaker is a switching mechanism that interrupts the current that is irregular or fault. It is a mechanical system that interferes with high magnitude (fault) current flow and also performs a transfer operation. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

A circuit breaker is an electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by an overcurrent or short circuit.

Explanation:

Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after protective relays detect a fault.

Raindrops hitting the side windows of a car in motion often leave diagonal streaks even if there is no wind. Why? Is the explana

labwork [276]

Answer:

because of the raindrop velocity relative of the car has a vertical and horizontal component

Explanation:

The car moves in a <em>horizontal direction </em>relative to the ground. The raindrops fall in the <em>vertical direction</em> relative to the ground.
Their velocity relative to the moving car has both vertical and horizontal components and this is the reason for the diagonal streaks on the side window.
The diagonal streaks on the windshield arise from a different reason.
The drops are pushed off to one side of the windshield because of air resistance.
