What important job do both fuses and circuit breakers do?
The reason to have a fuse or circuit breaker in the circuit is to protect the amount of current that can be applied to a conductor. Individual wire sizes are rated at specific amperages that they are allowed to carry. By allowing more amperage on an under size wire will cause it to heat up, sometimes to a point where the insulation can be destroyed. On a fault current this can quickly escalate to thousands of amps. Fuses and breakers prevent this high amperage from doing any damage by opening the faulted circuit.
Why does a series resonant circuit cannot be tank circuit?
A series resonant circuit has it's reactive components connected in series with each other; while the reactive components, as in a "tank" circuit, are connected in parallel with each other. The resonant series circuit has the capability of producing usable increased voltage levels across each component at resonance, while the resonant tank circuit does not. The resonant parallel, or "tank" circuit; has the dual capability of creating a situation whereby the input amperage level is reduced to minimum while, at the same time, a maximum amount of circulating amperage is created between the two reactive tank components at resonance.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called?
Resistance is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit.
What components are placed in an electrical circuit to control the amount of resistance in circuit?
resistors, variable potentiometers
Why you use inductor?
we use the inductor because it helps the circuit to have an appropriate amount of current, so that the circuit in the appliance will say longer.
What is the role of a breaker in a circuit?
the breaker makes sure that nothing in the circuit is damaged by an increased amount of amperage or voltage
What does a Clamp-on ammeter measure?
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
Is there a maximum amount of gas that can be used or allowed per Nascar race?
No there is no maximum in NASCAR.

Why does the power trip when you test between live and earth?
A standard circuit breaker will sometimes (but not necessarily) trip in such a situation because the amperage exceeds the rating for that breaker. A ground fault interrupt breaker will invariably trip because the amperage on one side of the circuit significantly exceeds the amount returning on the other side of the circuit.

What is the amount of current flow through a wire?
The amount of current flowing through a conductor is governed by the amperage of the connected load. This is why there are different sizes of conductors. Each conductor size is only allowed a specific amount of amperage to flow through it. If the amperage load is higher that what the conductor is rated for then the next larger size conductor has to be used. The limiting of the amperage to specific size conductors keeps the conductor from heating beyond the conductors specifications, under full amperage conditions.
What is a sentence with maximum in it?
She took the maximum amount that was allowed out of the bank. He drove the car at the maximum speed limit. They put the maximum effort into winning the game.
Why limit the amount of electricity passing trough a circuit?
Circuits are limited for a few reasons firstly because certain size wiring can only handle so much voltage and amperage before it could fail secondly wiring heats up when more amperage is drawn through it which can create fires or burning out of the circuit most appliances draw set amount of current and amperage if you have a low amperage appliance Eg pool pump drawing 4 amps and the windings start to fail the motor can start drawing excessive amperage creating a hazard, if you had a large circuit it may never trip the breaker indicating a fault with the appliance which can cause catastrophic failure.
