Question

Q. What do you understand by short circuit and overloading of an electric circuit? Why should these things be avoided? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Short Circuit: A short circuit happens when the current does not travel the intended path of the electrical circuit. The voltage of the current gets too high, which can result in an electrical fire

Over loading : An electric overload occurs when too much current passes through electric wires. The wires heat and can melt, with the risk of starting a fire.

The solution: Avoid plugging several power-hungry items of equipment into the same line.

Answer 2

Answer:

a drawing or diagram of an electrical circuit with standard symbols is called circuit diagram.
