What does it mean when you say that lines in a home are overloaded?
The meaning of overloading of lines in a home.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In a circuit, the current increases due to decreases in the resistance of the electric devices.
The electric system becomes overloaded if the current in the electric circuit becomes more than the rated current.
If the total resistance of all the devices in the home is large then the electric circuit needs more current for the flow of electrons in the circuit. The current of the electric circuit increase beyond the rated value and the lines in a home become overloaded.
Conclusion:
The overloading of lines in a home increases in the total current than the rated current in homes.
