The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
On a multi device circuit, it the devices are wired in parallel with the supply voltage. On a dedicated circuit with only one device on it, this circuit can be considered a series circuit as the device is in series with the supply voltage.

If it is a properly wired circuit (according to code) in the home, the breaker for that circuit will trip deenergizing the shorted circuit. If it is not properly wired, it could get hot and start a fire and possibly burn down the home.
GE circuit breakers can be purchased from various sources. They can be found at electrical supply stores, online retailers such as Amazon or eBay, or directly from the official General Electric website. Additionally, they may be available at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowe's.
Electrical symbols are used on electrical prints to show the location of devices that the architect would like located at specific spots. Two simple circuits in house wiring would be a receptacle circuit and a lighting circuit.
200 amp is the most common size used in most homes.
The biggest circuit breaker in any home is the main breaker located in your main breaker panel that is installed where your electrical service cable comes into your home.
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.

Safety features built into a home include: * circuit breakers and ground fault circuit interrupters * electrical wiring installed to code * grounded water distribution piping * smoke detectors

You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.
Usually electrical panels are metallic enclosures that house electrical components. An electrical home panel contains the house's circuit breakers. An electrical control panel contains electrical controls such as relays that usually control other pieces of machinery or motors.

In my home, all of the utility outlets and all of the AC electrical devices we use arein parallel with all the others, and also with all similar outlets and devices in all ofthe homes of all of our neighbors whose houses are on the same transformer.
