Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.
The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.
The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.
The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.
It provides a low resistance path to the ground.
Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.
ANSWER:
C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.
Q. The energy emitted from the sun is a product of ________.
A. Fusion
Answer:
Visible Light and Radio waves
Explanation:
The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.
it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.
