Question 2 • SVHS Building Construction ##FA

Which of the following best describes the relationship between a circuit breaker and a fuse box?

Answer
A
A circuit breaker may be used a substitute for a fuse box.
B
A fuse box is used in residential settings; a circuit breaker is used in industrial settings.
C
There are many circuit breakers for a single fuse box.
D
There are several fuse boxes for each circuit breaker.

Explanation

A fuse box contains fuses that interrupt a circuit when too much current flows. A circuit-breaker panel can perform the same protective job using resettable breakers, so it can serve as an alternative to a fuse box. The other choices incorrectly describe where each is used or how many of each are needed.
