One main part of any household branch circuit is its circuit breaker. It is designed to protect the electrical circuit from damage caused by current overloads or short circuits. It is designed to disconnect the electrical flow within a few milliseconds if it detects certain electrical faults. Then, to be able to provide power to the appliances and lights in the house, there must be fixed outlets and socket outlets supplied by the various branch circuits. Nothing can be provided with electrical power unless there is a main breaker panel to contain all the separate circuit breakers and also to provide the house with a main power on-off switch.

∙ 9y agoThe 3 main parts of an electric circuit and their functions are:
- power source - either electrical or battery, provides the power to the load.
- conducting path - the wires, carry the power from the power source to the load.
- load - the device using the electricity such as a computer, light bulb, power saw, etc.
More complicated circuits use switches, such as light switches, to control the flow of electricity.

Can electrons flow through a closed circuit?
An open circuit is a connection that is disconnected. This can cut off parts of the circuit, losing some key functions, or it can halt the circuit entirely.
When current flows to all parts of a circuit the circuit is open?
Current only flowes in a closed circuit. Electrons have to have a complete path from the negative side of the source to the positive side.
Can the outlets in a circuit be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same result Why?
Can the outlets in a circuit be arranged in different groups to obtain the same result? Why?
Name 4 common parts of an electrical circuit?
1. Source of electrical energy2. Electrical load3. Electric circuit control device4. Connector
What is the symbol of circuit breaker?
It depends what circuit you are making.Circuit breakers come in different 'ratings' and so are chosen according to the power demands of the circuit you have.You don't choose a circuit for a circuit breaker as such, you choose a circuit breaker according to what circuit you have made.
If the different parts of an electric circuit are found on separate branches of the circuit then what is that circuit called?
parallel
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on different branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Why is it that the current flowing through a parallel circuit is the different in all parts of the circuit?
Because there is many path for flowing current through circuit.
What is electric current that flows through different parts of this circuit at the same time?
Cannot say without seeing the circuit.
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Can you draw a circuit diagram to show how switches can be used to control two different parts of a circuit?
Yes, use a ladder diagram.
What OF parts of circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
What are the some parts of an electric circuit?
Battery, switch, wires, lightbulb, etc. Those are SOME parts of a circuit....
A circuit in which all parts are connected in a single loop is called a?
A circuit in which all parts are connected in a single loop
Is ttl combinational circuit or sequential circuit?
it can be either, depending on parts used in the circuit and their connections.
What are the parts of parallel circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
