Question

explain what is short circuiting and overloading in a electric supply?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Short Circuit happens when any wire of a device of low resistance burns through it cover and it's copper point directly connects with metal surface of the device

$\blue{\bigstar}\:\:{\underline{\boxed{\bf\red{Short\:Circuiting}}}}$

⤇ If the plastic insulation of the live wire and neutral wire gets torn,then the two wires touch each other.This touching of the live wire directly is known as short circuiting.

⤇ when the two wire touches each other the resistance of the circuit formed very very small.since the resistance is very small.

• The current flowing through the wire become very large and heats the wire to a dangerously high temperature and a fire may be started.

⤇If too many electrical appliances of high power rating like electric iron, water heater etc. are switched on at the same time,they draw an extremely large current from the circuit.This is known as overloading.

• In other words it is defined as if too many appliances are connected to a single socket.
