How do you know when you have a circuit?
tuned circuit
What is the difference between ITE and FPE circuit breaker?
The connection blades and how they connect into the distribution panel's bus.
What is the current of a series-parallel circuit connection?
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
What are the images of series and parallel circuit?
parallel circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected across each other allowing current flow to divide between them, the voltage across all of these subcircuits is identicalseries circuit, a circuit containing two or more subcircuits connected inline with each other allowing the voltage to distribute across them, current flow through all these subcircuits is identicalopen circuit, a circuit with a break (or opening) in it, preventing current from flowingclosed circuit, a circuit with no breaks (its fully closed) in it, permitting current flowshort circuit, a circuit having an unintended low impedance path (or shortcut path) somewhere in it causing current flow to bypass one or more subcircuits within the circuit; this often causes excessive current flow and damage, unless a fuse melts or a circuit breaker pops to create an open circuit and thus protect things
Where you use Circuit Switching?
It is simplest form of switching which have dedicated physical path between sending and receiving. In circuit switching network,a set of switches are connected by physical link. A connection between the two stations is a dedicated path made up of one or more links.
Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?
A short, or short circuit.
What is an unintended current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
Power Surge
What is an unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
Power Surge
A connection that allows current to take an unintended path?
"short circuit"
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points on a curcuit called?
A short curcuit is a low-resistance connection established by accident or intention between two points in an electric circuit.
What is the term used for a circuit path that is shorter than its intended path?
A short circuit refers to an unintended connection between two points in an electrical circuit that bypasses the intended load. This can result in excessive current flow and can cause damage to the circuit components.
How do you know when you have a circuit?
tuned circuit
Short circuit?
A short circuit occurs when an unintended connection is made between two points in an electrical circuit, causing a low resistance path for the current to flow. This can result in excessive current flow, overheating, and potentially damaging the circuit components. Short circuits are typically identified and resolved by locating and fixing the unintended connection.
What a short circuit?
A circuit with very little (or no) resistance, that causes and unintended crossing of the circuit pathways.
What is open circuit and short circuit?
Consider two points (A and B) in an electric circuit. An open circuit between A and B means there is no electrical connection between A and B. A short circuit between A and B means there is an electrical connection between A and B.
What do you mean by short circuit?
A short circuit is an electrical fault that occurs when an unintended connection is made between two nodes in a circuit, resulting in excessive current flow. This can lead to overheating, damage to components, and potentially cause a fire.
What causes the main breaker to trip from a fault current from a twenty amp branch circuit?
A fault current on a twenty amp branch circuit can cause the main breaker to trip due to the higher-than-normal flow of electricity, which exceeds the circuit's capacity. This could be caused by a short circuit (abnormal connection between conductors) or a ground fault (unintended connection between a conductor and ground). The main breaker detects this overload and trips to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
