Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?
Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.
Normally a high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no change to the voltage. Why is this?
A high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no voltage change because the resistance across the short circuit is zero.
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
Do living cells have a high resistance to electric current?
yes
What happens when skin resistance is high?
High skin resistance can produce severe skin burns but prevent the current from entering the body
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 resistance is high during short circuiting?
Resistance of a short circuit is actually very low, ideally it is 0 Ohms. In practice the resistance of a short circuit will be equal to whatever the resistance of the short circuited wires is, which is typically very small. So if you substitute very small resistance value R into Ohm's Law(I = V/R), you will get a very high current flowing. Where V=voltage,I=current.
Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.

A dangerous circuit with low resistance and high current?
Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
What is the importance of the reverse-to-forward resistance ratio of a diode?
to determine the comparison of resistance value of both forward and reverse diode . The more the resistance the lower the current , the lower the resistance the higher the current . When reverse bias , the resistance is high and it acts in open circuit and the reverse current is very small that can be neglected . When forward bias , the resistance is low and it acts as short circuit and the forward current is increasing as the voltage supply is higher .
What is short to ground?
A short to ground means there is very little or no resistance between some electrical device and ground. A "dead short" would be no resistance at all. This causes very high current which blows fuses and causes overload protection devices to trip out.
How will you describe the graph of resistance against current?
If resistance is high that time the current flow is low. Bcoz current always flow through the low resistance path.
What is effect of resistance in heat production in a current carrying conductor?
resistance will be high
What is a material that conducts current?
Material with high resistance
