Concept Questions: Current and Resistance?

A fuse is a device designed to break a circuit, usually by melting when the current exceeds a certain value. Fuses are widely used in electronic equipment, but have been replaced by circuit breakers in household wiring. In the "old days" people would sometimes replace a blown fuse with a penny, which happened to be the same size as a fuse. Was this a safe practice? Why

High-voltage power supplies are sometimes designed to have a rather large internal resistance as a safety precaution. Why is such a power supply with a large internal resistance safer than one with the same voltage, but lower internal resistance?

Can all combinations of resistors be reduced to series and parallel combinations?

Old-time Christmas tree lights had the property that, when one bulb burned out, all the lights went out. How are these lights connected, in series or in parallel? How could you rewire them to prevent all the lights from going out when one of them burned out?

Trying to follow seris then parallel and back is confusing. Any help on line(utube type sites) or really good books?

in electronic circuits

have a paradox in electronic circuits?

imagine a couple of led connected in series …..which drop 2 v across each led when forward biased…….so in total both of them drop 4 v …..now if a 400 ohm resistor is connected in parallel to this arrangment of 2 led ………and the whole is connected in series to a 600 ohm resistor…..now imagine the whole circuit is supplied by 10 v supply such that the leds are forward biased ………….now …if you calculated you will find since there is a drop of 4v across the led the drop accros the parallel 400 ohm must also be 4 v ……..so a current of 10 mA flows through the 400 ohm ……..and since the parallel arrangement drops 4 v we have 6v drop across the 600 ohm ,……so on calculatin the current we again get 10 mA……………does this mean …will the whole of 10 mA current will flow through 400 ohm or not ……..how does it split up in the parallel arrangement ….will the led light or not ………

Maybe even with different materials, or semiconductor styles, in different parts, and other compound shapes, and materials for electronic components?
Example: On the surface of circuit board, etch a twin spiral, with two conductors running parallel to each other as they spiral toward the center, with a solder hole at its’ end, or at a location in it, so they could be connected to make parallel induction coils, with or without an inner end connection and with or without a center tap, at the same time (with who knows, what types, or how many possible uses), or left separate to make a capacitor, or used as two parallel inductors, which would probably work and behave like a tank circuit, and could be adjusted by how the lines are spaced, and by how many time each is wound, or maybe even a type of antenna, or set of antennas.

Or make a coiled wire, and then, coil the coiled wire, or wind the coiled, coiled wire again, around a core, or center tap, another wire, or any other arrangement(s) – basically letting the mind keep wondering, and keep testing and calculating…..

Want more?
Have they ever tried standard material and/or other material, induction cores, made with open ends, closed at one, or at both, tapped in different ways, spiraled in different shapes (circular, triangular, etc…), or coated with molded plastic, at different thicknesses, etc, etc….?
Since there will always be new things, these shape ponderings might lead to some wiled stuff!!!

To me, learning from a book is basically memorizing what is already known, but real learning happens when your imagination kicks-in!

Thanks for thinking/pondering with me, and I hope it gets and keeps you wondering too!!!
