How in energy transferred in simple circuits?
The charge travels through the wires to the loads from the power source where then it powers all the loads connected on the wire. This is beneficial, but also it has its disadvantages. When one of the loads (light bulb) goes out all of the loads connected to the wire go out, instead of where in a parallel circuit the branch that has that load that went out dies. The better choice would be a parallel circuit.

Why do vehicles designed to carry heavy loads have multi-wheel axles?
the vehicles carrying heavy loads are provided with multi-wheel axles to increase the area and decrease the pressure.
Loads that change over time is called?
dynamic load

What are some precautions that should be taken during house wiring?
Make sure that the proper size conductors are used for the specific loads. Also make sure that the breakers are properly sized to protect the conductors of those loads. Make sure that the insulation on the cables is not compromised before covering the wall with gyproc.
How do you read electrical circuits?
Electrical circuit is a network that has closed path giving a return way for the current. It is a connection of power supply, conductors and loads.
Can you use a transformer to compensate the voltage drop in a branch circuit?
If the voltage drop is excessive, it is a sign that the circuit conductors may be undersized. Better to install larger conductors. If you try to use a transformer, under light loads the voltage will rise to unacceptable levels, possibly damaging equipment.
DoesCode permit connecting receptacles to a 20ampere branch circuit using short lengths of 14AWG conductors as the pigtail between the receptacle terminals and the 12AWG branch-circuit conductors?
No. This practice is a violation of Article 210.19 (A) of the NEC. "Conductors of branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle for cord-and-plug-connected portable loads shall have an ampacity of not less than the rating of the branch circuit."
What are feeders in power system?
"Feeders" are conductors which carry electric power from the service equipment (or generator switchboard) to the overcurrent devices for groups of branch circuits or load centers supplying various loads.

Which insulated electrical wires match specific Amp loads?
All electrical wires are rated for specific amperage's. This is why conductors are matched to the load current so that a smaller size wire in not used on a heavy load current.
What is the difference between a 2 pole and single pole breaker?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A single pole breaker is used to supply 120 volts to a 120 volt load circuit and to protect the conductors of that circuit. This is one "hot" wire to the load and then back to the neutral. A two pole or double pole breaker is used to supply 240 volts to a 240 volt load and to protect the conductors of that circuit. This is two "hot" wires to the load without a neutral, eg. baseboard heaters, hot water tanks. The two pole breaker is also used with a neutral when the 240 volt device needs a 120 volt supply for its controls. eg. electric range, dryer.If you mean a 120 breaker with two switches, those are designed to fit an extra circuit into a full breaker panel by removing the single, installing the double, and you now have two breakers in the space of one, each for the rated amps at 120 volts on the same "leg" of the 240 supply. These are not often recommended and some local codes do not permit them to be used more than temporarily.
Will the two-wattmeter method work for all three-phase loads eg unbalanced loads inductive loads capacitive loads and delta-connected loads?
Blondel's Theorem tells us that, to measure the total power of a three-phase load (balanced or unbalanced), we can use one less wattmeter than there are conductors supplying that load.So the two-wattmeter method will work for anythree-phase load, provided there are only threeconductors supplying that load, e.g. three-wire delta or three-wire star (wye).Bear in mind that wattmeter's read true power (expressed in watts) and ignores the reactive power of inductors and capacitors.

Reactance is not dissipate energy so why you are calculating in the account of resistance?
While reactive loads do not dissipate the reactive component of the power supply current, these currents are very real. They must be generated, and so must be taken into account when designing the generator. They also flow in the feeder conductors, cause I squared R power losses and heat, and must be taken into account when sizing the conductors.
