Circuit breaker tripping, or non functioning outlet. The neutral and hot can be reversed, or an open ground, and you will have no symptoms. This can only be detected with a circuit tester you plug in to check the wiring.

How will an electrical circuit behave if there is a short in the circuit?

If it is a properly wired circuit (according to code) in the home, the breaker for that circuit will trip deenergizing the shorted circuit. If it is not properly wired, it could get hot and start a fire and possibly burn down the home.


What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?

An ammeter is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit. It is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated to accurately measure the current passing through that specific part of the circuit.


What is a circuit that is wired in one direct pathway?

A series circuit is wired in one direct pathway, meaning the components are connected end-to-end like a chain. In a series circuit, the same current flows through each component, so if one component fails, the entire circuit will be disrupted.


What circuit is a microwave?

A dedicated 20 Amp circuit wired with 12/2 wiring an a 20 amp breaker.


Will it work wired wrong?

No, it will be dangerous. Electricity is very dangerous and installation codes are not written simply to make things work but to make them safe. There are many electrical situations that will work fine even if wired incorrectly. The determination of what is correct or incorrect is what is most safe if something goes wrong. So the question one should ask is not, does it work. But ask the question, If something goes wrong, is this the safest way to have wired this circuit. Only competent electricians who are familiar with and fluent with applicable codes can sufficiently answer this question.
