Yes, any equipment that is energised can develop a fault. In standby mode it's unlikely but theoretically possible.

What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.
What condition results anytime the human body becomes part of an electrical circuit?
The condition that will result anytime the human body becomes part of an electrical circuit will be an electrical shock. As the neutral side of a load is grounded all a person has to do to become part of the circuit is touch the "hot" feeder side of the circuit and any grounded metallic object that forms part of that circuit.
What happens in a circuit?
A short circuit is one that is characterized by extremely low resistance. This will result in the extremely dramatic increase of current. High current will flow until a safety device opens the circuit, or the weakest link in it burns out. And one of the two usually occurs in a moment or two.==Short Circuit happens when the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
How does electrical energy travel around a circuit?
It doesn't. Energy doesn't travel 'around' a circuit. It travels from the supply to the load. And it isn't delivered to the load by the current. It doesn't even travel through the wires. It travels as a result of what is called the 'Poynting's Field' which acts perpendicularly to both the electric and magnetic fields.
Which type of sources can result in burns?
Thermal, Electrical, Chemical (All of the above)
What is an electrical fault?
Some people will define the cause of an electrical fault as a "short circuit" but that is too simple an explanation because it doesn't explain how it is caused. An electrical fault is the name given to any situation where some electrical current goes where it was not intended to go. This situation can be caused by damage to the protective insulation around a wire - or around some other part - which puts the wire or part in contact with a different wire or part that it was not designed to touch because a difference in voltage has to exist between them to allow an item of electrical equipment to do its work. If an item of electrical equipment gets dropped accidentally - or if something else hits it violently - that action can easily damage the insulation material or close an air gap that was designed to keep two parts electrically separate within that item of equipment. Another way an electrical fault can be caused is by physical deterioration of some insulation. Such deterioration can be caused by many factors such as, for example, the temperature of the equipment being too high or if some unprotected equipment is exposed to wet or damp conditions. Such factors can put stresses on the insulation which it was not designed to withstand and it breaks down and causes an electrical fault to occur. If an item of electrical equipment (or an electrical wiring circuit which connects different pieces of equipment together) is properly designed, then, if an electrical fault occurs, protective circuit breakers should trip and/or fuses should blow to stop the flow of any excessive current that is the result of the electrical fault, thus helping to prevent any fires and/or explosions from happening because the fault occurred.
Is a short circuit dangerous?
A short circuit is simply a circuit in which the resistance is substantially low. This means that the current of electrons flows far too fast and overheats. This can also form electric arcs (electrons jumping from one point to another). Three common results of short circuits can be: overheating (causing fires), overheating (causing explosions), and electric arcs (causing electric shock).

How to do the megger test in electric motor?
Briefly, a megger test is testing an electric circuit at load. The circuit might prove good at normal resistance measuring but fails when applying high voltage. Read the megger result correctly, every electric circuit will fail if stressed high enough. Disconnect any servo drive or frequency controller before testing.
Is it possible for a human to close an electrical circuit. Will the electricity go through him or is that not a closed circuit?
Yes, and yes. If electrical current flows through him, then he is part of a closed circuit. If the current is greater than some threshold amount, and it flows through certain specific parts of the body, then the result is the phenomenon known as "electrocution". It isn't pretty.
What is a passive element in a circuit?
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
What is a grounded circuit?
When wires are not insulated,not even a single fiber of it should touch or connect to the metal base or part of the project because it will result to a grounded circuit
