Question

Explain what is short circuiting and overloading in an electric supply ?

Answer 1

Short circuit:

The circuit becomes shorter in this. The two wires neutral and phase touches each other the circuit gets shorter. The resistance becomes low and a heavy current flows through it. 

Overloading:

If the current flowing through the various instruments connected to a single supply, it draws more current. If the current drawn is more than the maximum current rating it gets overloaded.
