Question

what causes short circuit?

Answer 1

A common type of short circuit occurs when the positive and negative terminals of a battery are connected with a low-resistance conductor, like a wire. With low resistance in the connection, a high current exists, causing the cell to deliver a large amount of energy in a short time.

short-circuit is a condition in which the high current flows through the circuit and at the same time too many appliances are switched on then the total current drawn through the circuit may exceed its rated value.

and condition when the live wire comes in contact with the neutral wire due to which a high current flows in a circuit
