If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is not on.
By 'switching on an electrical appliance' we are completing (closing) the electrical circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the device to work.
A circuit with a separate path for each load is a dedicated circuit. <<>> A circuit with a separate path for each load is a parallel circuit.
No current flows in the circuit when the circuit is open, as in when the appliance is switched off. The voltage is on the "hot" side of the switch when it is in the open position but the neutral is not energized until the switch is closed.
This statement is correct.
The appliance's circuit is open.
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is not on.
If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.

each appliance should have a rating label showing the amps or watts used, Add up these figures to see if they exceed the capacity of the circuit. Amps =watts/voltage
16A

It will most likely be damaged beyond repair! Circuit boards will burn out as will motor/relays. And it could start a fire!
Notification Appliance Circuit
To prevent an overload or short from causing the wiring in the circuit supplying power to the appliance from overheating and possibly catching on fire. The fuse is there to protect the wiring and not what is plugged into that circuit.
No current flows in the circuit when the circuit is open, as in when the appliance is switched off. The voltage is on the "hot" side of the switch when it is in the open position but the neutral is not energized until the switch is closed.
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
