You can find the circuit breaker for free with a paper clip. Just unfold the paper clip jam it into the two prongs of the circuit and voila
And voila what happens next ???

It would just blow up the paper clip. The guy has no clue what he's talking about. You need to short to ground to pull enough current to trip the breaker.

Another person who has no clue. Without shorting to ground, the thin gauge of the paper clip will blow up before the breaker. Look up how a GFCI receptable tester works, they short hot to ground to trip the GFCI. Please never touch any electrical wires within your house and leave it to the professional. Youtube videos won't help you either.

The thin paper clip will likely burn up before a standard breaker trips regardless of it shorting to neutral or ground, right? Tripping the GFCI with the tester that way is to test the functionality of the GFCI, which is to detect loss of current in the circuit AKA short to ground.

Get a bigger paper clip if the first one doesn't burn your house down.

If you have ET-310 already, this is a handy addition. Or just get the kit for 54.99. The kit was on sale a couple of weeks ago for 49.65. https://a.co/d/7I8h3AY. Just below 50 is best you can get post great inflation started 2022.

Plug a radio into the socket, turn up the volume. Now go to the breaker box and flip breakers until the radio goes off.
Cost: $0.00

Neutral is bonded to ground. If it's not tripping from a direct short between hot and neutral, the wiring is incorrect or the breaker is faulty.

Folks do your own research and take internet electrical advice with a grain of salt.

GFCI will "sense" the difference in the amount of electricity flowing into the circuit to that flowing out, even in amounts of current as small as 4 or 5 milliamps. This is is a measurement between hot and neutral. No ground required to function properly. You can even replace an ungrounded plug with no access to ground wire with a gfci to get the proper ground fault coverage.

The neutral and ground are bonded together at the electrical panel.

Most gfci testers are applying the fault between hot and neutral. An electrical inspector might have a portable gfci tester which applies the fault between hot and ground.

Whether the paper clip will explode depends on its size and the duration of the fault.
