What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
Electrical device activated by a current that opens or closes another circuit?
An electrical device activated by a current that opens or closes another circuit is called a relay. A contactor also falls into this category.
What is the Difference between circuit and parallel circuit?
A series circuit is one in which the current must pass through all the electrical devices in the circuit in turn. A parallel circuit is one in which the current passes through each electrical device on the circuit following separate, independent path from all other devices on the circuit, one for each electrical device.
How does the direction of an electrical circuit move on a battery device differ from the direction of an ac current?
In a DC circuit (battery), the lower potential is always on one 'end' of the circuit so the current always flows in the same direction. In a AC circuit, a wave is generated so each end cycles between high and low potential. Current always flows towards lower potential and changes direction every time the higher/ lower potential changes
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.

What is the device for amps?
An electrical device may draw amps, but there is not a device that equates to amps. Amperes are the measure of current flow in a circuit.
What is a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when the current gets too high?
In the electrical trade, this device is known as a circuit breaker.
What protect equipment from too much current by tripping a switch that breaks the circuit stopping the flow of electricity.?
In electrical terminology it is an over current device. This could be an electrical breaker. Another form of an over current device is a fuse.

What are the functions of an electrical circuit beaker?
A: Its function is to trip if the current across it coil is its tripping pointAnswerA circuit breaker is an overcurrent protection device which can break a fault current.
