To determine to which wire the switch and fuse should be connected in a power circuit with three different wires, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Wires In a typical power circuit, there are usually three types of wires: - **Live Wire (Phase Wire)**: This wire carries the current to the load. - **Neutral Wire**: This wire carries the current away from the load and completes the circuit. - **Earth Wire (Ground Wire)**: This wire is used for safety purposes and prevents electric shock by directing any fault current to the ground. ...
