What can cause a fuse to blow?
Fuse's are used to limit electrical current to a "safe" level within an electrical appliance. Since the fuse has blown it indicates that something as happened within the television which is causing it to draw an excessive amount of electrical current. The most likely cause is that a component has failed in a "shorted" state. Identifying the specific component will require some experience in electronic troubleshooting.
What happens when current flows where it isn't supposed to?
When current flows where it isn't supposed to there is a lot of arcing and sparking. In an electrical circuit what the current is trying to do is get back to the source any way it sees fit using the path of least resistance. This is where over-current devices (breakers and fuses) come into effect to stop the fault and prevent the least amount of damage to the equipment as possible. It is well documented the damage that the current from a lightning strike can do and there is no over-current device in the world that can prevent it from happening.On the lighter sideThat's a very serious thing. It is sent to bed without its supper.
If voltage and current are proportional why do they increase voltage in powerlines in order to decrease current?
Low current will equal low power losses due to the resistance of the cable. I squared R. (I is transmission current and R is resistance/Metre of cable) by increasing the voltage for the same amount of power the current decreases. Power transmission will take that advantage to transfer less current for the same amount of power.
Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?
yes
1 volts is equal to how many watts?
They represent different things: The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential difference or electromotive force, commonly known as voltage. The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power, equal to one joule of energy per second. It measures a rate of energy conversion. The ampere (symbol: A) is a unit of electric current, or amount of electric charge per unit time, in coulombs per second. And we have: 1W = 1V*1A
What is the unit to describe the amount of electrical current passing through a ponit?
The 'amp'.
What is the amount of current that flows through an electrical pathway with a resistance of 48 and voltage of 240v?
5amps of current will flow it
What does the electrical term amperes mean?
Amperes are units of electrical current. They measure the amount of charge passing a point in a circuit line given a set amount of time.
How does the cat5 cable transfer info?

What is the amount of charge passing a gieven point ever second called?
The current, or electrical current. Measured in Ampères.
What are the functions of an ammeter?
An ammeter measures the amount of electrical current flowing through a conductor.
If current in an electric stove is doubled how will the thermal energy produced per unit time change?
P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
How are a neuron and an electrical extension cord different?
They both carry electrical impulses from one point to another

What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
