Want this question answered?
The term, 'overcurrent', describes either an 'overload current' or a 'short-circuit current'.An 'overload current' is a current that is higher than a circuit's 'rated current'. For example, if you have too many loads plugged into the same circuit, then the resulting current is an 'overload current'.A 'short-circuit current' is a large current resulting when a line ('hot') conductor accidentally makes contact with either a neutral conductor or an earth (ground) conductor.
You can't really separate them. It's the current flowing through your body that does the damage, but the value of the current depends on the voltage across your body -the higher the voltage, the higher the resulting current.

The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
The higher the resistance the less current can pass through therefore the current will be lower.
If the current exceeded the threshold current or (nominal current) which is already defined and configured to the relay. For example, if the Threshold current is 1 Amps, and a fault occurred in the system which will result to increase the current so it will be higher than 1 Amps, lets say 5 Amps, so the relay will operate to stop the faulted section.

If you are talking about electromechanical overcurrent/voltage relays, reference the manual for that particular relay. an exampel of an overcurrent would be a CO-7, 8, or 9. These have settings of pickup, and time lever for a time overcurrent element. The basic principle is force is applied to a disk, that when spun, will initiate the tripping of a contactor (which will trip a breaker). This force is kept in check by the pickup and time lever settings, which are used to create a conteracting force on the disk. The higher the current, the greater the applied force is to the disk, and the conteracting force will remain relatively unchanged, so the relay will trip faster. CO-7, 8, 9 also can have an instantaneous pickup (operates slightly different). Voltage relays will operate in similar fashion. The important thing to note here is every relay type is slightly different, so the manual should be consulted if you are looking for specific information. the CO-7,8,9 type relay manuals can be easily found with a good search.
has been found to have a higher dropout rate.
Yes. Sadly, dropout rates are getting higher and higher every year. Every nine seconds in America, a student becomes a dropout. In 2004 alone, six million 15-18 year olds had not completed high school (Mentor Research Institute, 2006). And that number is just growing. -Amanda Smith
More electrons means more current, by definition.
Current defined as Positive charge flow , flows from higher potential to the lower. Current defined as electron flow, flows from lower potential to higher. In general Potential and Current are defined by positive charge.
Many electrical loads pull a high starting current. A common 60W light bulb, for instance, can pull 900W for a few lines cycles. These are generally not an issue, however. What is an issue, is electric motors. They can, in the larger varieties, pull substantial run current and yet pull four times that current to start. That can trip an instant trip breaker, but that is not desired. Many breakers have two trip settings. An instant trip, which is some number of multiples of the rating, and a delayed trip, which is based on time. The instant trip takes care of short circuits, while the delayed trip takes care of the need for higher power on startup, yet provides decent protection during run. The duration of the delayed trip is a function of how much overcurrent is present, so we can not really say how long it is, unless you get out the specification sheet for the individual breaker. Suffice to say that a small overcurrent might take 20 or 30 seconds to trip, while a larger overcurrent, say 5 times rated, might take 2 seconds, which is more than enough time to get the motor started.
You would get output when the intensity of the applied light is higher and series current would make the current amplitude higher.
A higher voltage means that a higher current will flow in the same load. It is the current that causes the breaker to trip.
That is not always true.
