Actually, the best way to put it would be if the current is too large or too small. 

Fuses and circuit breakers are both devices that "break" if the current flowing through them is too large.

A fuse is usually a thin piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if too large a current flows through it. The thicker the fuse wire, the more the current needed to melt it and the higher the "rating" of the fuse. The function of the fuse is to protect the wiring and the equipment.

A circuit breaker is an electronic circuit that will switch off the current if it is too great. A circuit breaker is designed to operate much more quicker than a fuse and so the damage is less because the current is switched off in a much shorter time.

Answer: The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is to stop current that is flowing too fast.

Explanation:

In case of over flowing of current carrying charges, a circuit breaker or fuse breaks the current and protects the circuit from damage. A fuse is wire having low melting point placed in a circuit. When current is moving too fast i.e. in case of over current, the heat produced melts this wire breaking the circuit. Similarly a circuit breaker is a switch which opens up in case of over flow of current.

An object in circular motion has velocity that is constantly changing. The direction of the acceleration is
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.

In the following diagrams the larger vector has a magnitude of 10, and the smaller
Anton [14]

the sum of vectors with the Pythagorean theorem allows us to find that the maximum magnitude occurs for the case:

d) the two vectors are parallel

Vectors are physical quantities that have modulus and direction, for example: force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Vector algebra has defined the sum, the product by a scalar and by a vector.  The modulus and the direction of the resulting vector must be encoded.

The sum of two quantities is done using the Pythagorean theorem

                  c² = a² + b²

where c is the resultant called hypotenuse, a and b are the summing vectors called legs; trigonometry is used for the direction.

Let's apply this expression to the present case

a, b) perpendicular vectors

              c² = a² + b²

              c = \sqrt{6^2+10^2}

              c = 11.7

the magnitude is the same in both cases, changing the direction of the vector

c) Antiparallel vectors

             

For this case the vectors are collinear, so the sum reduces to the algebraic addition

             c = a-b

             c = 6 -10

             c = -4

d) parallel vectors

             c = a + b

             c = 4 + 10

             c = 14

We can see that the vectors addition gives their maximum and minimum values ​​when the vectors are collinear.

In conclusion using the vectors addition we find that the correct answer is

d) the two vectors are parallel
