Answer 2

Answer:

GOOD EVENING

Short circuit: -The situation in which live and neutral wire come in direct contact, abruptly increasing the current in the circuit is called short- circuiting.

Precaution :-

1.Electric Fuse: An electric fuse is connected in series it protects the circuit from overloading and prevents it from short-circuiting.

2.Proper Earthing of an all-electric circuit in which any leakage of current in an electric appliance is transferred to the ground and people using the appliance do not get the shock.
