Question

With reference to the domestic electric circuit answer the following:
a) Name the two wires having a potential difference of 220 V between them.
b) What is a short circuit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Live and Neutral wire.

b. When the overall resistance of a circuit becomes zero, due to a fault, a huge amount of current passes through the circuit which may cause several damages if no protection is given.

This is short circuit.

Answer 2

Answer :-

a) Live and Neutral Wire

b) Short circuit is an electrical circuit in a device of lower resistance than that of a normal circuit, especially one resulting from the unintended contact of components and consequent accidental diversion of the current.
