Current is always I[A] = U[V] / R[ohm], unless more complex AC functions are required to calculate actual power (instead of the Volt-Ampere rating which feeds inductive loads as well).

What could be causing your ir-12 diedrich coffee roaster to blow a breaker in your breaker box?

First, determine the current draw of the coffee roaster, then check the breaker size. Using the formula, Watts = Amps * Volts, determine if the current draw of the coffee roaster is anywhere near the maximum current draw of the breaker. For example, if the roaster is using 14 Amps, and the circuit breaker is rated at 15 amps, that doesn't give much room for anything else on the circuit. Add up all of the current of all devices on the circuit (the one that trips the breaker) and either move things around so that you don't have too much load on a single circuit, or you may need to bring in an electrician to run a new circuit. If you are ABSOLUTELY certain that your appliances are nowhere near the rating of the circuit breaker, you could have a faulty breaker, in which case, bring in an electrician to replace the breaker.

How do you prevent a bunn coffee pot to kick breaker out?

You don't. The breaker is doing its job by preventing an overload on the circuit. If it happens all the time, you've got too many devices on the circuit or the Bunn is drawing too much power for that circuit. Putting the Bunn on a dedicated circuit capable of delivering enough amps is the only proper solution. Rewiring to add a circuit probably isn't going to be cheap, though. You might also have the coffee maker looked at. It's possible that there's something wrong with it causing it to draw more current than it should be.

What is the role of resistors in household appliances?

Probably the most common resistor in a household appliance is the resistive heating element. They appear in an electrical stove or range. The standard electric range and its oven have resistive heating elements in them. They're just "oversized" resistors that get really hot when we run current through them. Toasters have resistive heating elements, too. Most of the use nichrome in the form of wire or in little flat strips. Some have quartz heating elements, which have that resistive heating element inside quartz or fused silica glass. Coffee makers have resistive heating elements. Toaster ovens, too. Hair dryers and straightners? Yup. Anything that plugs in and is designed to get hot probably has a resistive heating element in it. There are actual resistors, like the electronic components, in all the electronic equipment in the house. All of it. They may be discreet components, or may be part of an integrated circuit. But they're there.


What type of current is used for coffe maker?

An electric current is not REQUIRED in a coffee maker, you can have a coffee maker that works on gas. If you are going to use electricity you could design one that used DC current or AC current. This said, as most houshold mains electricity supplies are AC, most commercially available coffee makers run on AC electricity.


Why does coffee evaporates faster than water?

It doesn't (at room temperature); coffee is primarily water. The one exception is if energy is applied to a container of water and a container of coffee. The dissolved solids in coffee being darker absorb energy faster, heating it quicker, thus evaporating the water within the coffee faster.
