What else can I help you with?
Can you have to many appliances plugged into your house?
In theory, as many as you want. However, the circuit supplying the receptacle(s) you are using has a maximum capacity before the circuit protective device opens (usually a fuse or circuit breaker). Since appliances come in many sizes / wattages, there is no single answer. Some large appliances require a dedicated circuit with only one single receptacle, so that other things can not be plugged in at the same time on that circuit. Conversely, a 15 amp general purpose circuit could probably handle 100 clocks. first determine how many amps the circuit is fused at. then how many watts the appliances use that are on the same circuit. then you take the watts divided by volts (120) = amps....add them up.
How are household circuits protecting form overheating if two many apices are plugged in at the same time?
Circuit breakers. Some older homes still have fuse boxes.
In a parallel circuit what is the total current equal to?
In all branches of a parallel circuit, it is voltage that is the same. Across each parallel branch of a circuit, we'll measure the same voltage. Probably the best example of equal voltages appearing across all branches of a parallel circuit is a household electrical distribution curcuit. The voltage at any outlet where you'd care to plug in an appliance or device will be the same. A fan plugged into an outlet in a bedroom will "feel" the same voltage as it would if it were in the living room and plugged into an outlet there.One other way to look at things like this is that each branch of the parallel circuit is connected across the voltage source. Each branch could be looked at as an "independent" circuit, and any given branch doesn't care what is happening in any other branch. Does turning that fan we mentioned on and off, or even unplugging it from the outlet affect the operation of, say, the refrigerator? No, it does not. Any device plugged into an outlet is connected "directly" to the source of voltage. And each parallel branch of the circuit will operate independently of any other branch. We know that the voltage in (or across) any branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the voltage across any other branch.
Why would the delay wipers and cruise control on a 2000 cougar not work?
bad fuse... try the horn, its on the same circuit as them
Can the white wire be used as a switched leg?
No, not in the North American electrical system. Opening up a neutral on a three wire circuit could create a series circuit if two devices are plugged into the same receptacle. This is how kitchen counter receptacles are wired in all new homes.
How does the white wire on an outlet become hot?
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
Do you waste electricity if you leave your phone charger plugged in?
No. Electrical appliances, when plugged in, create a "circuit." That means that there's an entry and an exit with a powered device somewhere inline. That's why there are two prongs on a plug. On the power adapter for your cell phone the circuit isn't complete unless it's plugged into the phone, so no power will flow through it. ______________ Not entirely true. Notice that the power pack, even with no device plugged in, remains warm to the touch; that's positive evidence that the device continues to draw power. However, the drain is minimal.
Can a refrigerator and a chest freezer be on same circuit?
You would need to check the power requirements for each appliance and compare them to the capacity of the circuit. But I wouldn't recommend it.
In a series circuit which quantity remains same throughout the circuit?
Current flow remains the same throughout the circuit.
Can different rating circuit breakers have the same short circuit characteristics?
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
How do you get dash lights working on 2000 corolla?
Check fuse for parking lights (same circuit) Check bulbs could be a bad headlight switch
