प्रश्न
Why do we cover plug pin holes which are within the reach of children with cellotape or a plastic cover when not in use?

उत्तर
The child may put his/her fingers into the socket and he/she may get an electric shock which could be fatal. Plastic/cellotape is a bad conductor of electricity and hence chances of electric shock get reduced.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.
