What type of electrical current is used to transmit electricity to our homes and workplaces?
Both series and parallel circuits are used in the home. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.
How do you create a dedicated circuit?
A "dedicated" circuit is one to which only one device is or can be connected; therefore the circuit is "dedicated" to the device. A NON dedicated circuit will therefore be one to which multiple devices can connect, such as the wall outlets in your home. Multiple wall outlets are connected to a common circuit breaker, making that an example of a non-dedicated circuit.
What type of electrical circuit is used least in industry and the home?
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.

What is a 15 amp hookup?
A plug and play 15v amp circuit is one that you can simply plug in. It has a three pronged plug so no special wiring is needed.

What is downstream in electrical?
The terminology down stream refers to an electrical circuit and where devices are connected into the circuit. In reference to the breaker that feeds the circuit everything is down stream from it. If a GFCI receptacle is added into the circuit as the first device, the GFCI can be wired to allow all of the regular receptacles to be protected down stream from that GFCI. Every device added to the circuit will be down stream from the one that is ahead of it. The only device that will not have something down stream from it will be the last device in the circuit.

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.

What is the simple device that opens and closes an electrical unit called?
A device that opens and closes a circuit is called a switch.

What would be the most effective method to test a broken circuit?
Do a voltage test. Start at one end of the circuit and progress along device by device. If there is voltage on the down stream side of the device move on to the next. If there is no voltage on the down stream side of the device then go up stream of the device. If you have voltage there then the current device that you are at is the problem causing an open or broken circuit.
Used as a form of safety device in a circuit give one word answer?
A fuse or circuit breaker will fit this description.
What one is better fuse or circuit breaker?
IMO it would be because the circuit breaker has the possibility of going bad and not working (allowing a short to move through the device), but fuses blow (cause a break) no matter what if shorted.
