In the trade it is called a short circuit. It is a very very low resistance load that will create a very very high current flow. This is the very reason that circuits are, or should be, protected with the proper size breakers or fuses, to interrupt this fault current flow.

An open circuit results when a hot wire touches ground?
A short circuit is the term for hot touching ground. This can cause a breaker to trip which will then open the circuit.
What happens when you connect the line wire from the switch to the load wire from the wall?
This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.
What happens when you connect the wrong wire to the live in a three wire ceiling light?
If you connect the ground wire to the hot wire it will trip the breaker. If you get the white and black wires reversed it will still work but does not meet code.
Is the red wire hot or common?
If wired correctly the red wire will be hot, but any wire can be hot regardless of colour if done incorrectly.
Can you Hot-wire a boat?
You can hot wire a boat. It just matters what type it is.
What happens when a hot wire touches a ground of a vehicle body what does it do?
It will produce a dead short and blow a fuse if the circuit is fuse protected, if not it will burn the wire up until the wire(s) burns in half.
What happens when a wire touches a metal pylon?
Sparks Fly
What happens to thebody when it touches something hot?
the body turn hot
What happens to hot water when it touches metal?

What happens when you disconnected the wire from the dry cell?
when the wire is disconnected from the dry cell you feel not hot
An open circuit results when a hot wire touches ground?
A short circuit is the term for hot touching ground. This can cause a breaker to trip which will then open the circuit.
What happens if neutral and hot touch each other?
If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.
What do the telephone wire look like on a hot day?

What happens if someone touches a high voltage wire?
If they are grounded they get an electric shock or electrocuted. If they are not grounded or in simultaneous contact with the neutral wire, nothing. That's why birds can sit on a high voltage wire and survive; they are not grounded.
What happens if a women touches a sperm?
Then she touches sperm...
What happens when you connect the line wire from the switch to the load wire from the wall?
This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.
What Happens if a 9 volt battery touches another 9 volt battery?
It heats up very hot and may explode.
