An electric circuit has an expected current of 80 amps and electrician measures the current in the circuit at 120 amps which statement provides possible explanation for this observation

1 answer

1. The electrician may have measured the current at a different point in the circuit where the current is higher than the expected value.

2. There may be a malfunction in the circuit components, such as a short circuit or a malfunctioning component, causing the current to be higher than expected.

3. The voltage in the circuit may be higher than expected, leading to a higher current flow than anticipated.

4. The circuit may be experiencing temporary surges or spikes in current due to fluctuations in power supply or other external factors.
