Need more information. It doesn't seem rationale that they are protecting the same circuit unless you are substituting one for the other for a test. A unit like an air conditioner may have multiple breakers and a higher value breaker may trip because the load it is connected to is drawing current in excess of the rating of breaker.

I have a 15 amp tool hooked up to a 15 amp breaker- This trips the breaker even with nothing else running- There is also a GFCI outlet on the same circuit- Is the breaker or GFCI bad?

It is likely that the 15 amp tool is drawing more current than the breaker can handle, causing it to trip. The GFCI outlet might not be the issue here unless there is a ground fault causing it to trip. Consider using the tool on a circuit with a higher amperage breaker to prevent tripping.


What would happen to the height of the cloud base if the dewpoint temperature were lower?

If the dewpoint temperature were lower, the height of the cloud base would generally be higher. This is because the air would need to cool further before reaching saturation, allowing clouds to form at higher altitudes. Conversely, a higher dewpoint temperature would lead to a lower cloud base height.


Why would power be received before breaker but with breaker on no power is in any recepticles?

The voltage before the breaker is from the distribution panel's buss bars. This voltage is controlled by the panel's main breaker. To have no voltage on the terminal of the breaker means that either the breaker is shut off or it has gone into a trip position. If it has tripped push the handle of the breaker to the off position and then to the on position. This should reset the breaker. If the voltage is not present at the output terminal of the breaker after resetting it, then replace the breaker as it has a fault in it.

Can you replace your current cooker fuse 30 amp with a 40 amp circuit breaker?

No, you should not replace a 30 amp fuse with a 40 amp circuit breaker as it would exceed the designed electrical capacity for the cooker. It's important to match the electrical protection device (fuse or circuit breaker) with the current rating of the appliance to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.

Northen Hemisphere. If you were positioned a bit further south would the curve traced out by the sun be higher or lower in the sky?

In the Northern Hemisphere the curve would be higher, in the Southern Hemisphere it would be lower.

32.6 or 32.45?

Well, if you're asking which is lower, It would be 32.45. If higher, 32.6. Hope this helps!
