Answer:
Short-Circuit
- Occurs when live comes in contact with neutral wire .
- High amount of current flows through the circuit .
- The potential difference at the point of short-circuiting will drop to zero.
Overload
- Occurs when large number of appliances are turned on simultaneously .
- Low amount of current flows through the circuit as compared to short-circuit .
- The potential difference does not drop to zero but it does reduce.

Answer:
One of the major difference between the short circuit and the overload is that the short circuit occurs because of the fault between the lines or line-to-earth
the overload means the equipment draw the excess of current from the supply.
The difference between short circuiting and overloading is short circuiting means phase wire and neutral wire are short each other unexpectedly. If short circuit is occurred then there is sparks and leads to fire.
Overloading means increase the current value over rated value.
