It depends on weather it is in a parallel or series circuit. In parallel the entire circuit it is in parallel with is shorted out. In series the total resistance decreases by the amount of the resistor that shorted out. Resistors usually open or change value with use.

What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?
The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.
What if a semiconductor diode is being tested using a digital multimeter and the resistance of the diode is 10 ohms in both forward and reverse-biased conditions is the diode shorted or opened?
The diode is neither shorted nor open. It is a zener diode and it is conducting in both directions. If it were truly shorted, it would read closer to zero ohms in both directions.
Why if one branch in a parallel circuit is shorted all others will short?
A current checks less resistance path to flow. When one of parallel branches is shorted, it becomes have less resistance and whole the current will flow through it, means current before parallel branches and current after parallel branches becomes same, and all branches become short.
Battery connected to high Resistance voltmeter the reading is 1.5V when it is shorted on a low resistance ammeter the current is 2.5A what is the emf and the internal resistance of the battery?
The Thevenin equivalent circuit of this battery is 1.5V and 0.6 ohms in series. A more exact answer cannot be given without knowing the actual resistance of the 2 meters (I assumed infinite for the voltmeter and zero for the ammeter, as would be for ideal meters).However I would NEVER attempt this test as you describe it, many types of batteries will explode like bombs when shorted (as they would be when an ammeter was placed across them)! The correct way to do this test safely is with just a voltmeter and an adjustable high wattage resistor.
Why a pure inductor do not consume power?
whose resistance is zero.but it is practically not possible. there is something resistance present in the wire
Why do you measure the winding resistance with a multimeter?
Actually, measuring winding resistance with a multimeter is an iffy situation at best. This is because the multimeter will not tell you if one of the turns is shorted, causing Q to drastically suffer, it will really only tell you if the winding is open, or if it is shorted to something it should not be shorted to, such as the frame. This is especially true for larger windings, in larger transformers and motors, because their DC resistance is so close to zero that you might not be able to tell if they are shorted or normal. Using a multimeter is a good start, to make sure that basics are covered, and it might tell you if the winding is dead shorted, but you need to know for sure what the expected DC resistance is, and you need to know that you multimeter is very good in the low Ohms scale.
What is a code 34 airbag light?
Drivers side air bag circuit low resistance or shorted
What is the name given to a circuit that has a load or resistance total of 0.0 ohms?
In that case, the circuit is shorted, or short-circuited.
Air bag light code 34?
Driver side air bag circuit , low resistance or shorted
Why is 1995 thunderbird airbag flashing 53 or 35?
35 - passenger side air bag circuit low resistance or shorted 53 - intermittent or repaired air bag circuit shorted to ground
Does you add the shorted resistors in finding the total resistance?
When resistors are wired in series, their resistances are added to find the total resistance. If they are run in parallel, or series-parallel, the formula is different
Your Ignition coil on primary resistance reading 0.0 ohms repair manual states it should be approx 1.0 ohms is it shorted?
Depending on the accuracy of your Ohm meter, yes... it could very well be shorted.
How do you repair driver side airbag circuit low resistance or shorted Ford F150?
It might be a problem with the "clock spring".
What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?

What is the cause for airbag code 35 ona 00 ford explorer?
Passenger side air bag circuit low resistance or shorted
In a shorted circuit what happens to the temperature of the wires?
In a shorted circuit, the temperature of the wires increases. This is because the wires are not perfect conductors - they have resistance - so the large fault current that flows generates a voltage across the wires, which then generates power, generating heat.
What if a semiconductor diode is being tested using a digital multimeter and the resistance of the diode is 10 ohms in both forward and reverse-biased conditions is the diode shorted or opened?
The diode is neither shorted nor open. It is a zener diode and it is conducting in both directions. If it were truly shorted, it would read closer to zero ohms in both directions.
