A somewhat imprecise term used to describe the condition of very low resistance
across the terminals of a power source, resulting in very high current.

What is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit
Why a short circuit happen?
Presumably, the current follows a path (a circuit) to do whatever it was "made" to do. If water, for instance, enters the circuit, a shorter path may develop, and the current will (partially) take the short circuit. Or a wire could become lose and short circuit the intended path.
What is the terminal potential in the short-circuit?
in the case of short-circuit the current is maximum hence the terminal potential is becomes zero
What is the term used for a circuit path that is shorter than its intended path?
short circuit
What is the units for the short circuit current?
Amps
When you will get to know that short circuit will happen?
1. That if a short circuit occurs we will get a sign before short circuit will happen or not ? 2. what we can do ? 3. how fuse can get a short circuit ? 4. which wires we have to use from preventing short circuit ?
Is a megohm a short circuit?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
Every short circuit is always a closed circuit while every closed circuit is not a short circuit?
Long winded but true.
What is a circuit with no load?
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
When was Short Circuit III created?
Short Circuit III was created in 2004.
When was Short Circuit - album - created?
Short Circuit - album - was created in 2001.
Will short circuit wasting energy?
Short circuit blowing fuse or breaker.
Short circuit example?
An example of a kind of short circuit is an arc welding.
Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?
The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
Why does short circuit break whole circuit?
Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped, Charlie the Grey
Incase of short circuit will the generator start or not?
Yes the generator engine will start and keep running. The generator has to start before the short circuit is sensed. What happens to the generator section on a short circuit condition is that the generator breaker will trip and disconnect the short circuit on the load. <<>> genarator will not start because of short circuit
When inductor is called short circuit and open circuit?
In DC inductor is short circuited .
