What country has half of the world's geothermal electrical generating capacity?
united states
Can I wire nut two black wires together and hook 1 to a breaker?
Not according to the electrical code. It requires each separate circuit to be fed individually from its own breaker. If allowed it would reduce the total capacity of each circuit from one amp per outlet to a half amp per outlet if the circuit was fully loaded.The work around in situations like this is to use a tandem breaker which gives you the capacity of two complete circuits and only using one breaker slot in the distribution panel board.
What is a rectifier circuit?
The Rectifier is an electronic device, which converts an AC waveform(Usually a Bi-directional waveform with Zero Average value) to a Pulsating DC waveform (Uni-directional waveform with Nonzero Average value). As AC wave (Sinusoidal) has two half cycles, namely - Positive Half cycle & Negative Half cycle If a Rectifier does it's operation only in one half of the cycles, it is known as Half Wave Rectifier. Similarly, If a Rectifier does it's operation in both the half cycles, it is known as Full Wave Rectifier.
Can you put tandem breakers in a panel box that is full?
It depends on the type pf panel. Some panels allow for half sized tandem breakers and some do not. It all depends on the busbar in the panel in relation to the part of the breaker that snaps/bolts on the bus. My advice would be to try it and if the breaker will snap/bolt on the bus you are good to go.... even better yet ...call an electrician...we work hard to learn the methods and codes in order to provide safe electricity in homes and buisnesses and for someone to just go online and try to do something themselves in order to save a few bucks is not cool and really just downright dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.
In a parallel in a electrical curcuit what happens when the current reachs a fork?
The current divides itself according to the resistance of each fork. If the resistance is equal, half the total current flows in each leg. The current flowing into the fork always equals the total current flowing into each of the legs.
