the heater is - Answer 10
why is most matter electrically neutral - Answer there are equal amounts of positive and
negative charges present
you have a parallel circuit in a house that operates on 120 V with several outlets for
plugging appliances and it has a 20-A fuse in the circuit. what is the maximum number of
600-W appliances that can be plugged into the outlets without "blowing" the fuse?
Assume that if the current flow exceeds the rating of the fuse, it will blow. - Answer 4
a simple electrical circuit has a constant voltage power supply and a variable resistor.
as you increase the resistance the current flow - Answer decreases
why do we use fuses - Answer to prevent wires overheating and causing fires
