National Electrical Code definition, NFPA 70 2005 Article 100 I: Qualified Person. "One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved."
How can you tell which outlets DON'T trip the circuit?
Further: The only reason there is "not enough voltage" somewhere is because there is a partially open connection providing resistance and a location to allow a voltage drop [bad splice, bad switch, bad breaker, broken wire, burned splice, ...].
It is the knowledge of how electricity works, and of the methods and materials used to create a functional wiring system, that enables a skilled troubleshooter to locate the problem and repair it.
Where should the "voltage" be, and how does it get there?
When you understand that, you will understand what is keeping it from getting where it should be...
Or getting it where it SHOULDN'T be.
Remember, if the circuit doesn't work, it is either the hot OR neutral"
Happy hunting!
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

What else can I help you with?
Outlet stopped working and it is not a GFCI?
First, check the circuit breakers; make sure they are all ON. Find out if any other outlets on the same breaker are working; it's always possible that a breaker is faulty. If the breaker is on and everything else on the circuit is working, it could be as simple as a poor connection inside the outlet. Also even though the outlet is not a GFCI, it may be fed from a GFCI outlet. Check near by outlets to see if any are GFCI and are tripped.

It is not safe to work on electrical appliances with the power on. If you hit a hot terminal and saw a spark, there may be damage to the wiring or electrical components of the dryer. It is important to turn off the power to the dryer and have it inspected by a qualified technician to ensure it is safe to use.
Why would Window AC unit and TV go out checked breakers all ok switched breaker on and off still nothing overhead light in room is working any idea?
If A/C unit and TV are on the same circuit it sounds like a breaker trip. If it is not evident which breaker tripped move all of the breakers off one at a time. Move completely to the off position. You should come across one that clicks when moved to the off position. This is the tripped breaker.
What if your bathrooms outlets are not working 4 outlets but the circuit breaker is not fliped How do you figure out what the problem is?
Your bathroom outlets might be connected to a GFCI Outlet. The Ground Fault Circuit Intercept outlet prevents you from electrocuting yourself in the odd chance that you drop an electrical appliance into the water of the bath tub while you're in it. Look around and see if there's one outlet with 2 buttons on it labeled Test and Reset and if you find one hit the Reset button and see if the other outlets start working.
