When a home circuit breaker opens the lights in some rooms go off but the lights in some rooms stay on. Explain why.?
The circuit breakers in a panelboard feed separate circuits. The lights that stay on are on a different circuit than the ones that go off. To fine the circuit that feeds the lights that stay on, go to the panelboard and turn off the breakers one by one until the lights go out. This is the circuit that feeds that circuit of lights. Remember that lights and receptacles can be on the same circuit together.
Is a humming sound at the circuit breaker a concern?
No. As the "Related links" explain below, it is normal when you are using copious amounts of electricity.
Is it possible to present nerves as an electric Circuit?
Presenting the workings of a nerve as an electric circuit is a good way to explain by comparing and contrasting they way they both work, because they are similar and familiar.
Open circuit and short circuit test?
Open circuit means the circuit is not continuous . A short circuit is continuous but has a fault connecting between either live to neutral or earth .As result of this we saw that this answer is unsufficent to explain short and open circuit on the other hand you can use this answer also like i did:)

Explain electronic circuit to break the electicity in case of short circuit?
A fuse or a circuit breaker can be added directly after the power source (and possibly a transformer) to do this.
Draw and explain the operation of fault voltage ELCB and residual current device?
ELCB means Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker -- it is used to trip the Circuit breaker if any leakage fault occured means
The exterior garage lights have always been on All garage switches work but none turn these off How do you find the off switch?
Find out what circuit the lights are on by shutting off breakers until the lights go out. Find the wire that connects to that breaker. If there is no wallboard or insulation in the garage , follow the circuit to the light. If there is a switch then it will have to be somewhere in that circuit and before the light fixture. If your situation is different from this, please use the discussion page and explain.

How much does a GFI circuit breaker cost?
They don't cost that much, and it also depends on where you are. I suggest you approach your electrician or electrical supplier, explain to him what you need it for and then he will then tell you the cost. Installation will be extra, as you can guess.
