Is it true or false that a circuit breaker must be replaced after a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker must be reset to ON after a short circuit but does not need to be replaced. It depends on the type of CB. A fuse is also a circuit breaker and it needs to be replaced after a short circuit. Relayed circuit breakers have to be "picked up" after a dropout and need not be replaced as such.

What are the different kinds of electrical receptacle?
The most common types are the regular type, where the only over current protection is provided by the breaker panel. the other most common type is the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) This type has a built in "circuit breaker" so when it senses a fault in the circuit it trips-this type is the safest as they are more sensitive than circuit breakers in the breaker panel.See related links below.
