For the past couple months our kitchen and dining room lights will sometimes start flickering in the pattern as shown in the video. If I repeatedly turn on and off the light switch it will eventually have them stay on normally. Lights do not have a dimmer, and are screwed in tight. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. House was built in 2010.

Reposting to here also cause if this is actually a serious issue then I would rather have that information as soon as possible (more eyes, more opinions ykyk)

It's at work

Got a 40-gallon, 4,500 watt water heater. The manufacturer says "For this unit it is recommended that a double pole 25-30 amp breaker be used."

Some sources online say definitely go with 25A. Some say that while the math works for a 25A breaker, definitely go with 30A. Other sources say either/or.

The circuit had 10 AWG wire.

Thoughts?

I replaced 2 outlets in my bedroom and one in the restroom that needed to be updated to the reset box. The two outlets were backstabbed. The restroom wire was screwed.

The two bedroom outlets were pulled and we noticed that there were only 2 wires connected to the previous outlets.

We used those wires and screwed them.

Turned the power back on and nothing happened. I also noticed that now half my house isn’t working.

We double checked the outlets and everything is done correctly.

I’ve checked the electrical box and nothing is tripped. I reset everything and nothing.

I had planned on moving this outlet 6 inches up the wall-I’m in the middle of a bathroom redo. However once I looked behind I’m thinking I’m going to leave it. I do want to swap it with a white receptacle, but I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly. There are 3 white wires and 3 black. What are my options? I read I can pigtail them, but is there a way to safely put them in the back of the outlet how it is now? Is the way it’s currently wired up to code?

Can you guys help me with my assignment? Our teacher doesn't really teach us and we're forced to learn by ourselves. He gave us unfamiliar worksheets and expects us to get it by the next day. Can you guys help if my work is correct? Even with the help of AI, I'm still confused. If you have sources or videos to share with similar work, I would appreciate it! The other numbers are simple, it's just that "one of the branches" thing is messing with my understanding. Am I right or wrong?

1. Multi-Branch Hybrid Circuit
   Two bulbs in series, connected in parallel with another two bulbs in series, and the remaining two bulbs in parallel with one of the series branches.

2. Complex Nested Circuit
   Two bulbs in parallel, connected in series with another two bulbs in parallel, and the remaining two bulbs in series with one of the parallel branches.

3. Multi-Level Parallel-Series Circuit
   Two bulbs in parallel, connected in series with another two bulbs in parallel, and the remaining two bulbs in parallel with one of the series branches.

4. Advanced Hybrid Circuit
   Two bulbs in parallel, connected in series with another two bulbs in parallel, and the remaining two bulbs in series with the entire combination.

I had a small electrical item go (BANG!) the other day, and I also noticed that a portable air conditioner was sometimes cutting out. Being a bit slow, I finally thought to take a look at the extension lead and the power socket.

I can't see anything at the power socket, I'd have to take it apart and I'm not very savvy about electricals so I might not even know there was a problem if I was looking at it.

The extension lead plug though has obvious signs of a problem!
The wall socket is old; a new power point was installed for a heater about 2 years ago next to it.

my rabbit took a few bites on my lamps power cord. is electrical tape safe?

Pros and cons here? Thanks alll

I’m a newer homeowner and I personally am terrified of working with electricity so I leave it up to the pros - what could have caused all this damage???
