Final answer:

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that prevents electrical shocks by detecting current imbalances using electromagnetic induction.


Explanation:

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device used in updated wiring, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, to prevent electrical shocks by detecting current imbalances. GFCIs compare the currents in live/hot and neutral wires and trip if a leakage current, indicating a potential hazard, surpasses a safe limit. They use electromagnetic induction to quickly interrupt the circuit in case of a fault.
