fuse blows, breaker trips, wire burns. if the latter is in your house, a smoke alarm is disireable.

How do you know an electrical circuit has a short in it?
A short circuit is determined by a low resistance between two conductors or between a conductor and the ground. <<>> The circuit's over current protection usually trips resulting in the circuit having no power.
What is electrical power measurement?
over 9000
When you turn the key to start the car it will not turn over and there is no power to anything?
It is most likely a dead battery, especially if there is no power for lights or the radio. Check and clean the battery terminals because corrosion can break the electrical circuit.
The first measure you should take to help prevent damage against electrical problems is to do what to the circuit?
Protect the circuit with an OCPD, an over current protection device, such as a circuit breaker or fuse.
Over current relay?
in electrical circuit current will increase specific level (full load current).its call over current
What happens if you overcompensate with 20mF capacitor for the inductive circuit instead of 10mF capacitor which already satisfy the power factor to reach 0.95?
there would be no problem with this == == The inductive circuit has a 'lagging' power factor. If you over-compensate with too much capacitive reactance, you could go over the top (past 1.0) , and end up with a leading power factor that may even be numerically worse than when you started. == == == ==
What happens when there is to much current in a circuit?
If you are talking about the circuits load being to large for the circuits capacity, then the circuits over current or over load protection will come into effect. The fault will open the circuit, thereby isolating the load from the electrical supply source.
What could you put over wires that doesn't break electrical circuits?
Insulation can be put over wires to prevent short circuit breaker trips.
What is the difference between control circuit and power circuit?
The power circuit begins at the wall. The control circuit comes in over the cable. If you touch the power circuit, you get a shock. If you touch the wire from the cable, nothing happens. The power contains the power to give the light to the television screen. The cable tells it what picture to show. Now, if you look at your Circuit diagram, you will see where the power comes to the computer. It might say +5v or +12v or it could show and input of 110 volts and an output of +5 and +12. There probably is also a -5 and -12 somewhere. Those are your power circuits. They power the entire computer. If you look closely at your wiring diagram, a wire from that goes to every transistor in your computer. The control circuits are likely to go anywhere. They carry data. The power circuits all go back to one point. The control circuits do not.
What protect equipment from too much current by tripping a switch that breaks the circuit stopping the flow of electricity.?
In electrical terminology it is an over current device. This could be an electrical breaker. Another form of an over current device is a fuse.

What is electrical feeder?
Feeders are commonly used to supply power to or from a radio antenna. A feeder can be a pair of parallel wires with closely controlled spacing (twin-wire feeder), or a single wire inside a hollow cylindrical conductor (coaxial feeder. <<>> In Canada the electrical term "feeder" is usually used incorrectly as a substitution for the terms wire or conductor. It is correctly defined is, any portion of an electrical circuit between the service box or other source of supply and the branch circuit over current devices. In the U.S. of A, a feeder definition taken directly from the National Electrical Code: All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.
