The protective device that switches off if the circuit overloads is a .

A.) GFCI Outlet

B.) Relay

C.) Capacitor

D.) Rheostat

E.) Circuit Breaker

E.) Circuit Breaker is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Circuit Breaker is an automated electrical device that is designed to control and stop the excessive current flowing if the crosses a particular level and it protects the electrical circuit from the damage that can be caused due to overload of current that is the reason Circuit Breaker is called protective device.

There are different types of circuit breakers such as oil circuit breaker, vacuum circuit breaker, outdoor circuit breaker, Spring operated circuit breaker, Hydraulic circuit breaker and Medium-voltage circuit breaker, etc.

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
