there are three types of circuits. Series,parallel,parallel-series. Series circuits usually are involved with dimming lights, and blown fuses.

What kind of circuit is one that has little or no resistance and will usually blow a fuse?
That is a short circuit.
What is a type of circuit where current by passes most resistance and large dangerous current flow?
A short circuit. In a properly installed system the fuse will blow to prevent a fire.
What happens if a circuit has no resistance?
Then the voltage in will equal the voltage out. The purpose of a resistor is to reduce the amount of electrical flow of current. You 'short out' the supply and blow a fuse/circuit breaker.
What type f circuit by passes most resistance and large dangerous curent flow?
A short circuit. In a properly installed system the fuse will blow to prevent a fire.
What is to trip a circuit?
Usually it means to blow it, it broke - you need to flick a breaker or replace it as it blew.
What will happen if ammeter is put across a resistance in a circuit?
Maybe blow the fuse or burn out the wiring. An ammeter has an extremely low resistance. connecting it across the resistance causes the resulting parallel resistance to be slightly lower than the resistance of the ammeter 1/Rt = 1/R + 1/R(ammeter)
Heating Effect of Electric Current advantage?
Reliable, simple and safe. Heat can be regulated by changing the resistance in the circuit.
Why does the fuse in 1997 Ford Expedition blow every time you replace it?
The fuse will blow when the current draw in the circuit that the fuse is protecting is more than the rating of the fuse. It usually indicates a faulty componet in the circuit or grounded wiring.
Where would a short be?
Usually one will blow a fuse. See if one's gone out or if anything not working to narrow down the circuit.
What could be causing the left rear tail light and side marker fuse in 1979 VW Van to blow?
In general, the reason fuses blow is there is a higher-than-acceptable amperage draw through that circuit. One way to get that effect is to try to run too many things on that circuit (such as plugging too many things into one electrical outlet in your home). Another way to draw more amperage is to have a short in the circuit, which effectively lowers the resistance level of that circuit. The voltage stays the same, so as the resistance goes to zero, the current goes to infinity, blowing the fuse.SO, I'd suggest you check for too large a draw, such as you woudl have if your circuit has more stuff on it than it's supposed to have, OR check for a short -- usually the result of a loose wire bridging to ground, or a light fixture with a piece of metal causing a short.
A fuse in a circuit is meant to burn out first if there is a short circuit. Should a fuse have a higher or lower resistance than the wire in the rest of the circuit?
The way current (series) fuses are designed and used, they are meant to overheat and blow and cause an open circuit if the current flow through these goes above the rated value. The resistance value typically is slightly higher than the wiring and adds marginal value of series resistance to the overall circuitry. The material characteristics of fuse ensure that at regular nominal current flow the fuse does not overheat, but when larger than expected current flows it overheats, melts (or gives very high resistance/open in a resettable fuse)and causes circuit to open.
What burns a fuse in Ford Bantam?
A short to ground or an overloaded circuit will blow a fuse.
