Feb 20, 2018 at 0:35 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed The GFCI works because the neutral/ground connection is on the other side of the GFCI. So the live connection passes through the GFCI and the neutral connection does not pass through the GFCI. Thus the GFCI reads 0 amperes on the neutral because the current is flowing around it not through it.
Feb 20, 2018 at 0:33 comment added user105652 Welcome to EE.SE. "a hypothetical LED of 1.5 ohm"??? At 1 amp the LED may become a laser, for a few uS. Your mind is looping. Please post concise, well thought out analysis and then your questions.
