Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the Circuit
The diagram shows a circuit with two heaters (H-4 and H-5), a fan motor, a meter, and a switch. The heaters are in parallel with each other. The fan motor is in series with the parallel combination of the heaters. The meter is shown connected across an unspecified component which seems to be incorrectly drawn as a dashed circle. The switch controls the entire circuit.
Step 2: Identify the Common Part
The question asks which part of the circuit is common to all three circuits (likely referring to the circuits involving the two heaters and the fan motor). The part of the circuit that supplies power to all three components (H-4, H-5, and the fan motor) is the main branch containing the switch. The current flows from the power source, through the switch, and then splits to go to the heaters and the fan motor. After passing through the components, the current recombines and returns to the power source.
Step 3: Locate the Fault
The problem statement mentions "contacts are corroded." Corrosion can lead to increased resistance or an open circuit at the point of corrosion. If the corrosion occurs in the main branch (which is common to all components), it will affect all three devices (heaters and fan).
Final Answer
The corroded contacts are in the part of the entire circuit common to all three circuits, specifically in the main branch where the switch is located. This part of the circuit delivers power to both heaters and the fan motor.
