Q. What is the device to protect equipments from the electric shock?

Correct Answer: c) Fuse

Explanation:
– A fuse is a safety device connected in series with the circuit.
– If an overload or short circuit occurs, the current rises above a safe level.
– The fuse element heats up and melts (“blows”), opening the circuit and cutting off power.
– This prevents damage to equipment and reduces the risk of electric shock and fire.

Motors and generators are energy-conversion devices, not protective devices. A “current controller” regulates current but does not automatically interrupt dangerous fault currents like a fuse does.
