What is 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 uses a dedicated connection between two points that remains active for the duration of transmission?
Circuit switching
Where you use Circuit Switching?
It is simplest form of switching which have dedicated physical path between sending and receiving. In circuit switching network,a set of switches are connected by physical link. A connection between the two stations is a dedicated path made up of one or more links.
What is a circuit that uses only one device?
A dedicated circuit.
Can you split hot water tank electric to stove?
No. Each circuit has to have its own dedicated circuit. The breaker and wire size differ between the two appliances.
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 is a dedicated outlet?
A dedicated outlet is a single circuit from a single or double pole breaker to a specific outlet or receptacle for a single specific device or appliance. An example of this would be a circuit for a refrigerator, microwave, dryer, range, etc..This is typically referred to as a "dedicated circuit". A dedicated circuit usually is supplying power to only one or perhaps two receptacles, such as a computer station. An example in your home under current code is your washing machine is required to be on a dedicated circuit. Dedicated receptacle circuits may be either 15 or 20 amp.A dedicated circuit is just what it sounds like. I'ts a circuit dedicated to one particular device. Most receptacle (you may call them outlet's) circuits will power several outlets. A dedicated circuit will power only one specific outlet or appliance. Some examples would be a refrigerator, a garbage disposal, or a microwave.
Should a range be on a dedicated circuit?
Yes.
Does a microwave always need a dedicated circuit?
No
Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?
As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.
Does a gas furnace require a dedicated circuit?
Yes.
Does a freezer absolutely need a dedicated outlet?
Current code say that a freezer or any appliance needs to be on it's own circuit. It will still work if it is not on a dedicated circuit.
