Electronic devices use all sorts of complicated electronic circuits - amplifier circuits for example, and switching circuits. The details, however, are a bit complicated for a short answer.
Modern homes.
phase controlled RECTIFIER circuit used Natural Commutation......
So it wont burn out
Fuse
they used a kind of wood, and mud.
From the beginning of electricaly wired homes (aprx. 1880) until about the late 50's or early 60's. They were replaced with circuit breakers because circuit breakers will trip a lot faster when a short occurs and can be re-used as apposed to having to be thrown out and replaced after a short.
In a parallel circuit the voltage is the same throughout and current flow is the total that each device (or load) draws. This is so everthing can be designed to run on one fixed voltage such as 115VAC for most small appliances and electronics. The voltage comes in to your house as 230 VAC between two wires (plus an earth ground) for dryers, ovens and other large energy hogs. 115 VAC is then available from either of these two hot wires relative to earth ground. If series circuits were used the voltage would vary from 115VAC available for a single load to something less as each extra load is added so in effect nothing would then work if they orinally were designed for 115VAC.
Boolean algebra figures heavily in circuit design.
A closed circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow forms a complete circuit.
200 amp is the most common size used in most homes.
yes SF6 gas is used in modern ckt. breaker.
One of the homes used by ojibwes were called wigwams
