Which is not a protection against electrical accidents?
a. fuse
b. conducting wire
c. insulation
d. grounded plug
The correct option is C. Conducting wire
Step-by-step explanation:
An electrical accident can be referred to as an undesired event caused by electric current resulting in an injury to a person or leading to damage of property. Injury, also known as physical trauma, is damage done to the body or even death caused by electric current.
a. fuse
This option is wrong. A fuse is an electrical safety device that provides protection against over-current in an electrical circuit. In its simplest form, is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, such that it can stop or interrupt the current prevent the current from doing damage to humans or other electrical or electronic component in the circuit.
b. conducting wire
This option is correct is the correct answer. A conduction wire is a metal conductor that carries electricity over a distance or a conductor used to connect to an electrical component such that electricity can be transferred from one component to another. When such conductor gets in contact with the human body especially when the amount of current flowing through such conduct is high, such a person will experience electric shock or burn depending on how high the current is. So the conducting wire is not a protection against electrical accidents, except it is insulated with the right amount of insulation.
c. insulation
This option is wrong. Insulation in electricity is the use of material that restricts the free flow of electricity between two or more electrical conductors. In other words, they are used to separate electrical conductors in electrical equipment. A conducting wire that is insulated cannot cause an electrical accident
d. grounded plug
This option is wrong. An electrical plug usually has three terminals namely; Live, Neutral and Earth. The third wire in these three-prong outlets is known as a grounding wire. This creates an additional path for electrical currents, they are less likely to cause short circuits when compared to ungrounded outlets, so they help prevent electrical accidents.
