Answer:

<u>GFCI</u> - <em>" Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter" </em>

Working Principle - The GFCI operates by measuring the flow of current into the circuit to that of flowing out. And then operate as accordingly to the situations.

Importance - The GFCI are used for the purpose of protection against electrocution and mainly are installed where the circuit may come in contact with water.

Explanation:

  • If the difference between the current leaving and returning through the current transformer of the GFCI exceeds 5mA, the solid-state circuitry opens the switching contacts and de-energizes the circuit.
  • As the GFCI can detect the current even in amount of currents as small as 4 to 5 milliamps. Now in case there is any leakage current from the circuit, so , the GFCI will respond by shutting off the system or circuit in order to avoid any sort of loss.

Answer:

The GFCI shuts down the circuit when it senses a current leakage.

Explanation:

The ground of a circuit should truly be ground. But if the ground circuit is not truly ground, then someone could get shocked. The GFCI monitors the possibility of current flow to ground. If this occurs, then the GFCI stops all flow of current, for safety reasons.

It also monitors if the current flow is interrupted. Say you drop something that is plugged in, into a sink of water. The GFCI should note the current loss, and shut down the circuit.

GFCI stands for: Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter

const2013 [10]

Full question:

Suppose that, when you arrive at the sale site for $50 Apple laptops (described in the text) at 1:45 A.M., you find more than 2,000 people already waiting for the site to open. You turn around and go home to get some sleep. Later you buy an Apple laptop, the same model as the $50 one, for $1,070. This indicates that ________.

Answer:

your opportunity cost of waiting at the site (and pushing and shoving) is at least $1,020

Explanation:

If you had decided to stay and wait and go through the hassle of pushing and grabbing in the queue to get a laptop of $50, you would have saved $1020. This is an opportunity that you have not(forgone) used and so you pay for it in the form of increased price of the apple laptop at $1070.
