Two identical fuses are rated at `10A`. If they are joined

A

parallel, the combination acts as a fuse of rating 20 A

B

parallel, the combination acts as a fuse a rating 5 A

C

series, the combination acts as a fuse of rating 10 A

D

series, the combination acts as a fuse of rating 20 A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
In series current will be same so rating will also remain same. But in parallel half of total current will flow through each fuse. So maximum current that can flow through circuit will be 20 A.
