Question

similarities between overloading and short circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

Overloading occurs when an electric circuit draws more current than the permitted value and short circuiting occurs when the ends of a circuit are connected by a conductor of very low resistance as compared to that of circuit.

(b) The coils of electric toaster made of an alloy rather than pure metal because:−

(1) resistivity of alloys is generally higher than its constituent metals.

(2) It has high melting point.

(3) It does not oxidise example, burn.
