Answer:

Circuit breakers and fuses both have the same purpose, but a fuse will melt when stopping electricity where as circuit breakers can just be reset. You need both devices in order to stop a overload of power that could fry your electronics or worse, start fires.

Answer:

$\huge\sf \pink{circuit \: Breaker:}\$

It's A device used to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload or short circuit.
Function: To interrupt current flow after protective relays detect a fault.
Why do we need them : It disrupts the flow of a current if there's a short circuit or overload. In doing so, it can prevent damage to an electrical circuit and possibly appliances, electronics, and our home.

$\huge\sf \pink{Fuse:}\$

It's A device that protects circuits and appliances by stopping the flow of unduly high electric current.
Function :The basic function of fuse is to prevent fire .It breaks electrical circuit if there occurs a fault in electrical appliances that causes too much current flow.
why do we need them : Without a fuse, there are many possibilities for electrical fires or extreme damage to a circuit.

Hope it Helps

How can you encrypt and decrypt a message in cryptography

ser-zykov [4K]

There are two main types of encryption - symmetric and asymmetric.

Using symmetric encryption, you use a single secret key that is used to both encrypt and decrypt the data. This form of encryption has been used way before computers! Without this key it is very hard to decrypt a message. However, the issue with this is that if you want to send an encrypted message, you also have to send a key to them, and if your somebody unintended intercepts the key, they can read the message.

What's the solution? Asymmetric cryptography or public key encryption. Asymmetric cryptography uses encryption that splits the key into two smaller keys. One of the keys is public and one is kept private. A good metaphor for understanding this is the public key is the lock, and the private key is the key. You can encrypt a message to send to somebody with their public key, locking it, which they can then decrypt, unlock, with their private key. And vice versa. So with this kind of encryption it's very difficult to decrypt a message for anybody but the owner as it's much harder to steal when it doesn't need to leave their computer, but easy to encrypt messages to send to them

Victoria is creating a brochure for her photography studio. She designed the layout and placed a photo in the center of the page

cestrela7 [59]

Assuming Victoria is using Adobe Photoshop to create her brochure, below are the steps she is required to follow.

She should first open the image on Photoshop, click on the image option and select duplicate just in case the resized image is not what she wants.

Still on the image option, she should select Image size. A screen will pop up at this point, indicating the image’s current size. For the purposes of image resizing, Victoria should select Pixel dimensions category.

She should be able to type her preferred dimensions for both the width and height. She should make sure ‘Constrain Proportions’ is unchecked to be able to type in separate values.

If she decides to use the photo editing program, she can simply click on the image, and if resize handles appear around it, she can click and drag those to the desired size.
