How does a thermal overload control a circuit when the phase short to ground?

If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.


Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?

Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.


Does Electricity Move Better through short Wires or long Ones?

All other things being equal, short wires. Longer wires cause the voltage to drop somewhat. The thickness of the wire also makes a difference - thicker wire can handle higher current, but the short/long principal is the same.


Does a short circuit damage your battery?

Yes it does. A short circuited battery creates excessive heat from the rapid discharge. This heat damages the internal chemicals and component materials in the battery. In some cases can even cause explosions and fire.


In a series connection if one component fails the whole circuit fails?

Yes. Open circuit. A: It depends on the failure type a short will not necessarily make an open circuit but rather a non functional circuit.
