Answer / jairaj shetty

a circuit breaker , in its simplest form is a thermo
electric device . when the rated current is exceeded , the
thermal device , made up of bimetallic strip heats up and
bends , thus tripping the mechanically spring loaded
switch .
the other form of electro magnetic circuit works by
activating a magnetic relay instead of a bi metallic trip
device .
