For a circuit that is operating normally, it will continue to operate normally. However, by replacing the correct fuse with one of a higher rating, you are removing the circuit's overcurrent protection and, in the event of a fault, the conductors and load may become damaged. Incidentally, the symbol for ampere is 'A', not 'a'.

What effect can be experienced by placing a 15 amp fuse in a fuse slot rated for 5 amps in an electrical circuit?

In a fault condition there would be a three fold quantity of the current on a circuit that was designed for a maximum of 5 amps. In electronic circuitry this could destroy the equipment. Also a fire is a possibility.


Why would another component effect the electrical current in a series circuit?

What are the effects of an open circuit?

In an open circuit, there is a break in the circuit path, preventing current flow. This results in no electrical current passing through the circuit and no electrical energy being transferred. As a result, any components or devices connected to the circuit will not function.

What would be the effect of placing a copper rod into an electric circuit?

If the copper rod is connected into the electric circuit in place of a piece of wire, it would have no effect at all on DC or low-frequency circuits. But the box used to hold the circuit would probably need to be bigger, because copper rods normally come in 6-foot lengths.

What does a switch do to effect a series circuit?

For an electrical circuit to keep going, it cannot be interrupted. When the switch is adjusted, the electrical flow is interrupted. Move the switch again and the flow is restored. Without a switch a circuit is no longer considered a complete circuit. Simple fifth grade science.


What are the three appliances that use the heating effect of electric circuit?

Three appliances that use the heating effect of electric circuits are electric stoves, electric heaters, and toaster ovens. These appliances utilize the electrical resistance in a circuit to generate heat for cooking or warming purposes.

What is meant by an electrical circuit?

An electrical circuit is an electrically conductive path, through which electricity can continuously flow, driven by the voltage of some generator or battery. A circuit is not literally circular in the geometrical sense, and it can have a very complicated shape, but it is circular in effect, because the electric current leaves the generator or battery and then returns to it, and then leaves again, and so forth.


How does a circuit happen?

When the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
