When does an electric short circuit occur ?
Answers
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.

A short circuit is when there is a low resistance connection between two conductors that are supplying electrical power to a circuit. This would generate an excess of voltage streaming and cause excessive flow of current in the power source. The electricity will flow through a 'short' route and cause a short circuit.They occur when a low-resistance path not suited to carry electricity receives a high-volume electrical current. In simpler terms, short circuits happen when hot wire touches a conductive object it's not supposed to. The result of a short circuit can be appliance damage, electrical shock, or even a fire.
