Conducting currents

The toaster failed yesterday. It did this at exactly the same time as the lights went out and the radio stopped working. Coincidence? I think not.

It turned out that one of the currents had fallen out of a teacake and landed between the element wire and ground. The resulting current flow (I like the way that sounds) had triggered the earth trip on that power circuit. So all I had to do was figure this out, and then go into the garage and flip the switch into the on position.

Current through currents is not always a win.
