Question

At the time of short circuit, the current in the circuit
(a) reduces substantially.
(b) does not change.
(c) increases heavily.
(d) vary continuously.

Answer 1

At the time of short circuit, the current in the circuit increases heavily, so the answer to this question is option c.  

When it comes to a short circuit, it is the electrical circuit which lets current for travelling along the unintended path with less or no electrical impedance.

It results in the additional amount of current heavily flowing into a circuit.

Answer 2

Answer:

At the time of short circuit, the current in the circuit increases heavily.

Explanation:

• There are two different types of wire in a domestic circuit: live wire and neutral wire.
• Between these two lines, the voltage or potential difference supplied by the electrical suppliers is maintained.
• The neutral wire has a potential of 0 V, whereas the live wire has a potential of 220 V.
• When the live and neutral wires come into touch with one another for whatever cause, a significant quantity of current begins to flow through the circuit.
• This is due to the fact that the current path has been reduced and a low resistance current path has been developed.
• Thus, current overloading develops, which is hazardous for connected electronics.
• As a result, the short-circuiting period causes a significant rise in current.
