About Circuit Breaker

Wire generators to cities and keep the lights on — but each city's demand is set by its real electricity rate from NREL, so a high-rate city like New York draws more load than a cheaper one. Every connection you make is Ohm's Law (V=IR) at work: resistance in the wire, voltage from the generator, current flowing to the city.

Overload a generator and it blows, same as a real breaker tripping — the puzzle is balancing series and parallel connections so every city stays lit without exceeding what any one generator can supply.
