What would cause half of your electricity to go off in your home when you turned on a light switch and the fuse did not blow?
Not sure but just reset your breakers
Would the electricity needed to heat a house come from a generator or a dry cell?
a generator would prodution the heat to a house.
What would cause half your house to lose electric and the breaker not go off?
If all of the breakers are on one side, then you have lost one leg of the power coming into the house. Probably between the house and the nearest transformer.
What does it cost to hook up electricity to house?
It would depend on how far away you are from the nearest substation
What will happen to a fuse if there is an overflow of electricity?
The overflowed circuit would cause the fuse to burn and thus break the flow of electricity to the house. This is a safety measure by which the flow of electricity is topped when the energy is higher than what the normal household appliances can handle. Traditional fuses burn out and cant be re-used ( the wire inside really burns). Modern circuit breakers just flip the switch to off if more than sufficient current flows in. Once deemed safe, we can flip the breaker to On and resume the electricity flow.

What might happen if circuit breakers or fuses were not installed in a circuit in a house?
The house would most likely burn down whenever a power surge hit.

a generator would prodution the heat to a house.
Why are you getting current from your car on touching after coming out?
That would be static electricity.
A 120 V general-purpose house circuit should have circuit breakers or fuses with values of?
I would say 15A - 20A
How do you use power in a sentence involving electricity?
I lost all power in my house during the thunderstorm. The power went out at 7 a.m. and was not restored until midnight. I had power to half of my house, so the electric company advised me to check the fuses or breakers. The power cord would not fit into the electrical outlet so I needed an adapter for the plug.
What cause other than circuit breakers would result in electricity failure?
loose neutral, bad main connection, depends on the exact situation could be a bad transformer

Where is the circuit breaker in a garage?
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.
What are electric fuzes?
In most places fuzes have now been replaced by circuit breakers. They prevent circuits from becoming overloaded and starting fires. With modern circuit breakers, you just have to flip the switch to turn the electricity back on. Old fuses were like the base of a light bulb, and a filiment would burn out if it was overloaded. Back then, you had to replace a blown fuze with a new one to restore electricity.

How would a repo agent be able to disable your garage door opener?
One of the easiest things to do would be to tamper with the circuit breakers which are usually in an accessible area on the exterior of the house
