zero current
maximum current
minimum voltage
maximum voltage
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. zero current.
An arc is a continuous discharge of electricity through a gas. In a circuit breaker, an arc is created when a current-carrying conductor is broken. The arc can cause damage to the circuit breaker and the surrounding area. To prevent this, the arc is interrupted at zero current. This is done by using a device called an arc chute. The arc chute is a small, metal chamber that contains a series of plates. When the arc is created, it passes through the plates and is extinguished.
The other options are incorrect because:
- B. maximum current: This would cause the arc to be more powerful and difficult to extinguish.
- C. minimum voltage: This would not be enough to create an arc.
- D. maximum voltage: This would cause the arc to be more powerful and difficult to extinguish.
