Question

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) works by comparing the amount of current going to and returning from equipment along the circuit conductors. When the amount going differs from the amount returning by approximately 5 milliamps, what does the GFCI do?

A.
Interrupts the voltage

B.
Interrupts the current

C.
Shocks the individual

D.
Destroys the electrical device
(Don't even know the subject so yeah)

Answer 1

It interrupts the current so no devices short out

Answer 2

The GFCI interrupts the current

Step-by-step explanation

A ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a type of circuit breaker responsible for shutting off electric power where there is an imbalance sensed between the current outgoing and that incoming. An imbalance can be sensed as small as 4 milliamps, and the circuit breaker reacts instantly to cut the flow of current.
