what is the different between Switch & Circuit Breaker?

Answer Posted / thowsif

Circuit Breaker:-
A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated
electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit
from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic
function is to detect a fault condition and, by
interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue
electrical flow.


Switch:-
A switch is an electrical component that can
break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or
diverting it from one conductor to another
