Is a megohm a short circuit?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
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.
Is a spark a closed circuit?
spark is a short circuit
Difference between open and short circuit?
An open circuit has a break in it somewhere, so the circuit is not complete and electricity cannot flow. When you power off a light, for example, with an on/off switch, you open the circuit, turning off the light as desired. When there is an unwanted open circuit, for example from a damaged wire, the device or system is unpowered and cannot operate. A short circuit has some unwanted contact between points at different voltage levels, such as from hot to neutral or ground, or between positive and negative. When a short is in a circuit, electricity will take only that path of little or no resistance. The rest of the system is deprived of power, and the conductors feeding the point of the short will likely overheat or burn unless a fuse or breaker operates, creating now an open circuit.
Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?
A short, or short circuit.
Is a free flowing path an example of a closed circuit?
It is a closed circuit if there is a load in the circuit (light bulb etc), otherwise it is a short circuit (+ to - on a car battery with a screwdriver)
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).
Will short circuit wasting energy?
Short circuit blowing fuse or breaker.
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.
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
What is An example of a short 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.
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
