Answer
To address a tripped circuit breaker, first identify the cause, such as an overloaded circuit, short circuit, or ground fault. Unplug all devices on the affected circuit to prevent further issues. Then, locate your electrical panel and find the tripped breaker, which will be in the "off" position. Reset it by moving it to the "off" position and then back to "on." If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be an underlying problem that requires professional attention. It's generally safe to reset a tripped breaker once; however, repeated tripping indicates a persistent issue that should be addressed by a qualified electrician.
