Question

What do u mean by short circuiting of a circuit

Answer 1

In simple and practical terms, a short circuit is an unwanted or unintentional path that current can take which bypasses the routes you actually want it to take.

This is normally a low resistance path between two points of differing potential.

Answer 2

Answer:

If live wire and neutral wire come in contact either directly or via conducting wire then it is called short circuiting. In this case, resistance of the circuit is almost zero which result in flow of large amount of current. This heats up the wire dangerously and may lead to fire.
