I'm sure I can answer this if given more details, what circuit? current is determined by voltage and impedence(resistance) in a purely resistive circuit it is pretty basic, in alternating voltage circuits the impedence is dependent on the frequency of the voltage/current. inductors and capacitors are designed into a/c circuits to force the load to behave like a resistive circuit which boils down to how much voltage divided by how much resistance you have, 120 volts divided by 10 ohms equals 12 amps. in a parallel circuit it works pretty much the same way voltage placed on the resistor divided by its resistance equals the current flowing through that leg. more details please.

What is a hypothesis stating how a fuse is used to prevent too much electric current from flowing through a circuit?
This would not be a hypothesis, but an explanation. A fuse is a piece of wire with a low melting point which melts if too much current flows in the circuit. It is designed to break before the rest of the circuit is damaged.
The role of the circuit breaker is what?
to prevent a circuit from overloading if too much current flow safely interrupt the circuit if it becomes overloaded
How a circuit breaker prevent from too much current flowing into device?
The current (in question) flows through both the circuit AND the circuit breaker [they are in series]. Within the circuit breaker when the current exceeds the preset limit it will open the circuit thus stopping all current flow. There are two common ways of doing this 1) magnetism - a coil pulls a switch open 2) thermal - a bimetallic strip bends away from its contacts, which opens the circuit.
What do tripped circuts breakers and blown fuses indicate?
That something in the circuit has pulled more current than intended.
What protects equipment from too much current by tripping a switch that breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity?
Circuit Breaker
How we calculate magnitude of current in circuit?
It is nothing but how much current or voltage taken in the circuit. It is known as Magnitude.
What device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it?
A circuit breaker is a device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it.
What is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit?
A circuit breaker or a fuse is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit.

What component included in a circuit and is designed to prevent too much current from flowing through the circuit?
A fuse.
What is a component included in a circuit and designed to prevent too much current from flowing through the circuit?
A fuse.
How much current will pass through single phase?
The current is limited by the fuse or circuit breaker.
What would cause a fuse to blow by the battery of a Dodge Neon?
Either a short to ground, or too much current draw in that circuit.Either a short to ground, or too much current draw in that circuit.

When phase and neutral are glowing what is the problem in circuit?
There is more current flowing and the wire can not flow that much current.
If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?
In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
