Answer 2

Answer:

When the live wire and neutral wire come in direct contact with each other then a  large current flows in the circuit. This is known as short circuiting. As a result of which the wire gets overheated which may lead to accident fires.

Factor:

when the insulation cover of the live and neutral wire is worn out due to overuse.

when a conductor like an iron nail comes in contact to both the wires.

Safety Device:

use a fuse of appropriate current rating.
