The wiring in the wall of your house to and from an outlet has a total resistance of typically 0.12 ohms suppose a device plugged into a 120 V outlet draws 10 A of current What is the voltage drop?
Assume the supply as DC (Only resistance given) Voltage drop = 10X10X0.12 = 12V (approx)
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, the voltage rating should not be exceeded. However, you could use a 250v 10a fuse for a 125v 10a fuse.
Can a 7a 125v power cord be used in China which is 240v?
No, it cannot.
What can you do to stop the plug on your electric heating from getting red hot?
You must have some high resistance in the plug or outlet, make sure that all connections are clean and tight, clean off any corrosion or burns on the plug, may have to replace outlet if contacts are burned in outlet. This is a fire hazard.
Can you plug a 125v appliance into 110v car outlet?
Yes
Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
Can you measure ohms from a live 115v AC outlet?
No, the circuit should not be energized when checking the resistance of a circuit.
Will 3A 125v work with 250 V?
No it will not work.

Can a 125V 7A adapter cord be used for a 220V outlet?
According to this , yes it will work http/forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-S-series-Netbooks/Voltage-Supply-Range-of-the-Power-Adaptor-and-the-cable/td-p/181204 <<>>> The above answer was taken from forums, not the most reliable source of information. No, a 125 volt adapter can not be used in a 220 volt outlet.

Will 10a 125v power cord power a10a 250v?
no

What happens to the overall resistance of a circuit when too many appliances are connected across a 120 V outlet?
This is a very technical electrical question that may be difficult to understand without further study. But adding appliances to an outlet is the same as adding resistance in parallel. Adding resistance in parallel, the resistance of the circuit goes down. That is why you get more current flow. By contrast, adding resistance in series increases the resistance of the circuit and therefore reduces current, all else being equal.
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
