What happens to the break when contact E opens?

  1. Decreases resistance, increasing break current

  2. Increases resistance, reducing break current

  3. Inserts more break resistance in the circuit, reducing the value of the break current

  4. Removes resistance from the circuit, increasing current draw

The correct answer is: Inserts more break resistance in the circuit, reducing the value of the break current

When contact E opens, it inserts more resistance into the circuit. This increase in resistance will result in a decrease in the value of the break current. Options A, B, and D all suggest an increase in resistance or current, which would not occur when contact E opens. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
