You plug a vacuum cleaner into a 110-V outlet with nothing else on the circuit If the 15-A circuit breaker is tripped. what is the maximum possible resistance of the vacuum's motor?

How many amps can a 20 amp breaker hold on a lightning load?
I'd try to stay about 16 amps to prevent the breaker from nuisance tripping. That is as many as 32 - 60 watt incandescent (normal) lights or 83 - 23 watt CFLs. In practical terms it is hard to overload a single circuit with lights or other small loads (just about anything using a receptacle except the obvious AC unit or vacuum cleaner).
What is the typical amperage rating for dryer outlets?
Depends on the conductors supplying it and the breaker protecting it. In the US, one quick way to tell is to look at the slots. If there are two parallel slots, it is a 15 amp outlet; if the larger slot (on the left, with ground being down) has a T shape, it is a 20 amp outlet. Also, 15 amp circuits use AWG14 wire, while 20 amp circuits use AWG12 wire.

Yes
Is there a main breaker in side the breaker box?
The main breaker kicks off in your electrical box because you are using more electricity than it can handle. If it is set for 100 watts and you are trying to use 125 watts, it will kick off. You can call your electrical company and ask for an electrical audit. There might be things you can do such as not run the washing machine, the dryer, the dishwasher, the stove, the vacuum cleaner, and every other appliance in the house all at once.
Why would a computer reboot when any appliance like vacuum cleaner or dishwasher is turned on?
The electrical circuit voltage drops when an appliance is turned on. (Lights dim, etc.) A new circuit is needed or you could purchase a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) to act as a buffer and prevent the voltage drop. JR
How do you trip electrical circuit breaker in normal working condition?
One way is to create a current overload deliberately i.e. run two two high-powered electrical appliances (such as, say, a 12 amp vacuum cleaner and a 2 kilowatt electric kettle) together on a circuit that is protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker. Or create a short circuit.
What circuit breaker acts as a switch creating an circuit when current is too high?
No. circuit breakers are in series with whatever lines they are protecting. They are never put in parallel with the protected loads (this would defeat the purpose). Circuit breakers open resulting in an open circuit / no power to outlets when they trip.
How can i clean contacts of an electrical breaker?
You shouldn't have to clean the contacts. If they aren't working, it's often due to damage from arcing. However, you can use compressed air, air in a can, or electrical contact cleaner, only after the main bus is de-energized and the breaker is removed from the panel. Contact cleaner is a liquid, and should not be sprayed into a live bus or breaker.

Why when you indicate to turn does the clicking continue to go on for awhile after you have straightened up and driven for several meters on GOLF GTI 2001?
The flashing of a car indicator is caused by a variation of a circuit breaker. When you straighten your path, there is a slight delay in the sensors which control this car circuit. This is not unusual in any car, and you can expect a delay of anywhere up to a few seconds. JUST SPRAY SWITCH CLEANER IN YOUR TURN SIGNAL STALCK JOB DONE NO MORE CLICKS
Is it possible to make a phone from a vacuum cleaner?
yes but it would probably suck!!!
Is orange skin as an anti bacterial cleaner possible for science investigatory project?
Yes, antibacterial cleaner for tiles... Also for hands as it has oils that are beneficial.
