Why will too many electric devices operating at one time often blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker?
In a house, usually all the outlets in a room are on one breaker or fuse. Each thing plugged into those outlets consumes some electrical power. This is a number rated in Watts. In this case, the more Watts something consumes, the higher the current is (measured in Amps) in the wires that connect the outlets to the main power in the breaker box. The current in power circuit must be limited for safety reasons. The wires in the walls can only handle a certain amount of current safely. If too much current flows the wires can become extremely hot, possibly starting a fire.
