Circuit breakers are used to protect the conductor that is connected to it. The sizing of the conductor is based on the current of the load. As the connected load current is increased so must the wire size to accommodate that higher current. Therefore as the wire size increases so must the breaker size to accommodate the higher load current.
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
Both of these devices are safety devices used to open a faulted circuit and stop the current flow.
As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.
A short circuit is a low resistance connection where one is unexpected. It causes a diversion of current from the intended load, and, since it is usually a higher than expected current, it often causes the protective device (fuse, circuit breaker, or relay control logic) to trip.

A conductor carries the voltage potential from the source to the load, i.e. the wires from a circuit breaker to a light.
You require a power source, a conductor and a load.
An ungrounded conductor is often referred to as a hot conductor. It carries the current from the power source to the load and back, typically in an electrical circuit.
80% of 40 = 32 amps Load the circuit breaker to 80% choose a conductor to suit the circuit Breaker min.
Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator
It is the ungrounded conductor that carries the load current. It is that conductor that needs to be protected should a fault current occur. That is what the fuse in that circuit does.
A conductor or load device in a circuit can burn out due to excessive current passing through it, leading to overheating and subsequent failure. This could be caused by a short circuit, overload, or a malfunction in the device itself. Ensuring proper sizing of components and protection mechanisms can help prevent burnouts.
Circuits are not plugged in. An electrical circuit is the way the voltage from the electrical panel boardis supplied to the load that is to be energized. Circuits come in many different capacities depending on the circuit breaker and wire size that connects to the circuit's load. If the load is greater than the capacity of the circuit's conductor that the breaker protects, then the breaker will trip and drop the overload current offline. This protects the conductor and the ciruit's load from fault damage.
A short circuit occurs when a conductor of low resistance connects across the conductors in a circuit. This creates a path of minimal resistance, bypassing the intended load, which can lead to excessive current flow and damage to the circuit components. It is important to identify and rectify short circuits to ensure the safe operation of the circuit.
Meter 'tails'.
A simple electrical circuit consist in a source of power (like a battery), a conductor (like a wire), and a load (like a light bulb, a motor, a resistor, etc)
