Answer:
0.3 A
Explanation:
Build the circuit attached. Make sure the switch is turned off as you build the circuit. Set the Selected battery voltage to 10 volts.
A. Based on the number on the fuse, what do you think is the maximum current allowed in this circuit?
Solution:
A fuse is a safety device which is used in circuits for preventing very high currents which can cause overloading or start a fire. A fuse is made up of a low resistance thin piece of metal such that the flow of high current can cause the metal to melt leading to an open circuit. A fuse lets current flow up to a maximum value before it melts and the circuit will be broken.
From the image attached, since the maximum rating of the fuse is 0.3 A, hence the maximum current that can flow through the circuit is 0.3 A.
