Can you add sockets to a cooker circuit?
no
What do tripped circuit breaker and blown fuses indicate?
Blown fuses indicate overload in the electrical circuit. Possible short-circuit or higher input voltage.Tripped circuit breakers I guess means:A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) which is used for breaking the circuit when electric current pass through a man or could cause fire/burning in the/near the electrical sockets.
What are the 4 most common causes of fires involving electricity?
Overloading sockets Faulty wiring Faulty appliances Appliances left on
Can you add sockets onto cooker circuit?
possibly
Maximum no of power sockets allowed in one circuit?
10 nos
What is a ring circuit?
Usually,there are many mains sockets in a flat to provide electricity for electrical appliances.Do you know how these mains sockets are connected to the electric cable that carries electricity to the flat? The electric cable that carries electricity to a flat is connected to the consumer unit.In the consumer unit,the electric cable branches into a number of parallel circuits that deliver electricity to ceiling lamps,mains sockets,air conditioners(or other appliances with high working current),etc.The circuit that delivers electricity to main sockets exists in form of a ring and is therefore called a ring circuit. The ring circuit provides two paths for electric current to flow from the consumer unit to the mmain sockets.Each path only carries half of the electric current.Therefore,the chance of overloading the circuit is reduced.Besides,if one of the paths is damaged,there's still another path for carrying electric current.

Where do you plug in US appliances?
You can plug US appliances into plug sockets in the US. You can also plug them into sockets in Mexico, Canada and several other countries that use 110 to 120 volts mains electricity.

What happens if you overload plug sockets?
the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
Are circuit boards installed in long narrow slots on the motherboard called expansion cards?
Yes they are... The motherboard is a large, square circuit board, containing lots of sockets. Expansion cards are rectangular circuit boards that slot into the sockets on the motherboard.

Do empty sockets use energy when left switched on?
No. You can think of the lamp (or whatever you put into the socket) as one more switch in parallel - if it is taken away, no current can pass through the circuit.
