Which topic does Article 210 address in electrical installations?

• A. Branch circuits
• B. Grounding electrode systems
• C. Overcurrent protection
• D. Wiring methods

Answer: (A)

Branch circuits are the pathways from the final overcurrent device to outlets, lighting outlets, and similar loads. Article 210 sets the rules for how these circuits are installed, protected, and arranged, including requirements for receptacles, lighting outlets, and protective devices such as AFCI/GFCI where applicable. That focus distinguishes it from grounding electrode systems (Article 250), overcurrent protection (Article 240), and wiring methods (Article 300). So the topic addressed by Article 210 is branch circuits.
