An overloaded circuit is heated up due to large current passing through the circuits. Due to this reason, the wire catches fire easily.

Overheating refers to the rising of temperature in any electric circuit or part of circuit.

It causes harm to the components of the circuit and can even cause explosion, fire or injury.
