• Use the appliance near water

• Touch the appliance with wet hands

• Plug in the appliance with wet hands

What are the potential dangers of overloading electrical circuits?

• Improved electrical conductivity and performance

• Increased energy efficiency and cost savings

• Enhanced safety and reduced risk of electrical fires

• Fire hazards and damage to electrical appliances

Explain the importance of using ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas where water is present.

• GFCIs are not effective in preventing electric shock

• GFCIs are not important in areas with water because water does not conduct electricity

• GFCIs are only necessary in outdoor areas with water, not indoors

• GFCIs can quickly detect any imbalance in the electrical current and shut off power to prevent electric shock.

What are the safety measures to take when using electrical equipment outdoors?

• Use electrical equipment in the rain

• Use indoor extension cords for outdoor use

• Use weatherproof outlets, keep the equipment dry, and use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)

• Keep the equipment wet to prevent overheating

Why is it important to unplug electrical appliances when they are not in use?

• To increase energy consumption and create a higher risk of electrical fires.

• To keep the appliances warm and ready for immediate use.

• To make the house look more cluttered and disorganized.

• To save energy and reduce the risk of electrical fires.
