Yes! A socket is a part of a circuit. Usually there are a number of sockets and lights associated with a specific circuit. The wiring of the circuit and the circuit breaker are limited to a specific amperage. If you exceed the amperage, you can blow the breaker. If the wire is rated for 15 amps and the circuit breaker is rated for 20 amps, the wires can overheat and cause fires.

What is transient overload?
Sustained overload is overload that is continuous, or permanent. A resistive load is a good example. This is the kind of overload you get from simply plugging too many items into a circuit. Transient overload is overload generated by a reactive load, a momentary short circuit, or other temporary condition. An example of a reactive load is the compressor of an air conditioner starting. This kind of overload can be caused by a reactive load being added to an already moderately loaded circuit.
When overLOAD occur?
A: Overload is a term used to describe a condition whereby a circuit is overstressed by additional loads imposed to it. Overload can be as small quantity or a very big quantity it depends on the circuit as it is stressed.
Why should you not overload a socket?
because it can cause a fire
What would happen if you overloaded a plug socket?
Basically if you overload a socket, it will burn the circuit. because basically pretend you had one socket and you had 5 plugs plugged into it but linked up to the other plug thing. All of the electricity will go into every socket but then will explode and kill all of the sockets.
What happens if you overload a socket on a computer?
2 things could happen, one being that your motherboard recognizes that the part is too powerful and will give you the Blue screen or 2 it will fry the socket in the motherboard, but hopefully it will do the first one first.
