Question

Difference between short circuit and overloading 0

Answer 1

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Short Circuit

1. If the live wire and neutral wire come in contact either directly or via conducting wire, the situation is called short circuiting.

2. In such case, the resistance of the circuit is called most zero which results in the floor of a larger current. This hits of the wire dangerously and may lead to fire.

Overloading

1. If many electrical appliances of higher power rating are switched on at the same time, they draw large current from the circuit. This is called overloading.

2. The large amount of current flowing through the wire excessively heats up the wire and may lead to fire.
