If several appliances drawing a total current of 18A are connected to a circuit designed to handle that load, the appliances will operate normally without any issues, provided the circuit is rated for that current. However, if the circuit's capacity is lower than 18A, it could lead to overheating, tripped circuit breakers, or blown fuses, posing a fire hazard. It’s crucial to ensure that the wiring and circuit breakers are rated for the total current to prevent damage and ensure safety.

Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel with a battery of 6A If one of the bulb gets fused what will be the total current drawn from the battery?

As the lamps are identical, and all three draw a current of 6 A, then each lamp must be drawing 2 A. So, with one of the lamps disconnected, the current drawn from the supply will reduce to 4 A.


Why isn't your circuit breaker staying on?

Assuming the circuti-breaker itself is working correctly, it's telling you there is a fault somewhere - either an actual short-circuit or your appliances etc combined are drawing more current than the circuit's rating. Do not ignore it, otherwise you run the serious risk of fire.


Does the current in home wires oscillate due to oscillating ac voltage in homes?

Yes. In almost all cases, the current follows the voltage waveform. The peak amplitude of the current depends on the device or appliance that's drawing the current.


Is a load and a motor the same thing?

when machine is taking electrical supply and produces flux, torque etc inside and gives mechanical (rotational) output it is MOTORbut when this motor is connected to some thing which results in drawing current and work to be done, that thing is LOADwithout any load motor has maximum speed and by increasing load speed decreases..AnswerAnything connected to a supply which draws current is a 'load'. 'Heavy loads' draw a lot of current, whereas 'light loads' draw little current. So a motor represents a load to the electrical supply; this applies whether the motor is driving a 'mechanical load' or not. We use the term 'mechanical load' to describe whatever (fan, compressor, pump, etc.) is being driven by a motor.


When capacitor is in the circuit without a load connected what will power consumption be?

When a capacitor is connected in a circuit without a load, the power consumption is essentially zero in a DC circuit, as the capacitor will eventually charge to the supply voltage and then stop drawing current. In an AC circuit, while the capacitor can draw reactive power, it does not consume real power since it stores energy temporarily and releases it back into the circuit. Therefore, the average power consumption remains zero for ideal capacitors under steady-state conditions.

What is the voltage of common electrical appliances?

115 volts <<>> In North America because of using a split secondary both 120/240 voltages are common. 120 volts used for smaller appliances and lighting systems. 240 volts used for larger appliances. Keeping in mind that the higher the voltage the lower the current, using higher voltage on larger current drawing appliances keeps the wire to a workable size.


Why is ammeter connected in series with the load?

An ammeter is connected in series with the load to measure the current flowing through the load. By placing the ammeter in series, it becomes a part of the circuit path so that all the current flowing through the load also passes through the ammeter, allowing for an accurate measurement of the current.
