Question

what happens when a short circuit takes place ?

Answer 1

This is your answer

If a short circuit occurs—or even if too many appliances get hooked up to one wire so that too much current flows—the wire in the fuse heats up quickly and melts, breaking the circuit and preventing a fire from starting.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electric short circuit occurs if the insulation of the wires used in circuit is damaged, due to which live wire and neutral wire comes in direct contact. This results in increase of current in the circuit.
