Answer 2

Explanation:

short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an excessive current flowing through the circuit. The opposite of a short circuit is an "open circuit", which is an infinite resistance between two nodes.

Unplug electronic appliances when you aren’t using them

Pull power cords out from outlets by holding the plug. Keep electrical cords away from sources of heat and water.

Use power bars and multi-plug outlet adapters only when it’s necessary.

Repair or replace any appliances that have damaged wiring or power cables.

Replace outlets with burn marks, sparks, burning smells, and buzzing sounds.

Avoid running power cables underneath carpets and rugs.
