Answer 1

How does overload and short-circuit occur in an electric circuit ? Explain.

Short circuit occurs when the positive and negative terminals of a battery are connected with a low-resistance conductor, like a wire.

• With a low resistance in the connection, a high current will flow, causing the delivery of a large amount of energy in a short period of time.
