The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
the electrons are not allowed to enter into the circuit.
If a buzzer is connected to an open circuit, it will not receive any electrical current and will not produce any sound because the circuit is incomplete. In an open circuit, there is a break in the path, so the electric current cannot flow to power the buzzer.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects you from electric shock by quickly shutting off power to the circuit when it detects a ground fault or abnormal current flow. This can happen when there is a short circuit, a malfunctioning appliance, or contact with water.
circuit breaker and fuses used in series to break the circuit in overcurrent situation to block current to flow through circuit.
ANSWER: The brightness of both bulbs will decrease. If the bulbs are identical the current will decrease to 0.2 Amps. This is a simple series resistive circuit, the more bulbs you add in series both the amperage and bulb brightness will continue to go down.
Current through that part of the circuit will stop.
it dies
Current stops flowing.
increase.
When a rheostat is adjusted from maximum to minimum resistance, the overall resistance in the circuit decreases. As a result, the current flowing through the circuit increases, which can be observed on the ammeter as a higher reading. Conversely, the voltage across the rheostat will decrease, as the voltage drop across a lower resistance is less, which can be monitored using the voltmeter.
In an electrical circuit, if resistance is doubled, EMF (measured in volts) stays constant, and current is halved.

a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
If the bulb is removed from its holder, the circuit will be open, breaking the flow of electricity. This will result in the current being unable to pass through the circuit and the bulb will not light up as a result.
If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance
In theory, you would get infinite current. But, of course, in practise, this cannot happen, as any large current would cause severe damage to the source supplying that current, not to mention the conductors involved. Protection against such currents would be provided by a fuse or circuit breaker.
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
