    current in electrical circuits? I. Direct touching of wires II. Connection of many devices to a single socket
    A Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    One reason for excessive currents in electrical circuits is the direct touching of wires . This may happen if the insulation on the wires has come off due to wear and tear. Too many appliances on a single socket implies too much load is shared across several nodes. The current will rise much higher as a result of this.
