Hey mate here is ur answer
Short Circuit occurs when neutral wire and live wire touch accidentally providing a very low resistance path for current. A large current flows through neutral wire, as we know that H=I^2Rt, so heating effect is very high. This may cause a fire.
Overloading of the circuit occurs when large number of appliances are connected in a single socket. This causes a large amount of current to flow and the fuse may blow off.
