not to be a smart A@@ at all, just trying to educate so you can get help.
there is a difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker. fuses are either round and screw in, or shaped like a (i cant say it), tube of lipstick and you can pull them out. (please be careful areound this stuff. make sure power is off before changing fuses).
a circuit breaker has a switch and can be reset, fuse are replaced.
now, i will assume you have a circuit breaker.
it depends on what caused the breaker to trip. if you had to many things on the circuit that the breaker feeds, thats no big deal. turn some things off and/or find another room to plug them into. now one breaker can feed several outlets, including the lights in that room.
if everything is turned off that the breaker feed, and it trips as soon as you reset it, you have a short. this can cause a fire.
if there is a short that caused the breaker to trip, call an electrician.
there could also be something plugged in that is shroted causing it to trip, so unplug everything, then reset. (try to limit how much you do this in case there is a wiring problem)
