Explanation:
Electrical circuits are designed to handle a limited amount of electricity. An overload occurs when you draw more electricity than a circuit can safely handle. ... Exceeding the rated load for the circuit wiring causes the circuit breaker to trip, shutting off the power to the entire circuit.

Explanation:
The current in a circuit depends on the rating of the appliances connected to it. The choice of wires depends upon the maximum current estimated to pass through them. If the total power rating of the appliances exceeds this permitted limit, they tend to draw a large current. This is known as overloading.
