If you have a circuit, the electrons will move through it and reach the negative terminal of, let's say, a battery. But if you have a direct line from the anode to the cathode, the electrons will ignore everything else, such as any LED's or motors you have on the circuit. In the case of electrical outlets, the cathode is unable to withstand as much electricity as the anode gives out. Also, this can cause an "arc" of ionized plasma to jump from the anode to the cathode, and I don't think you want to arc weld your electronics to the outlet...

What is a circuit with no load?
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
Can different rating circuit breakers have the same short circuit characteristics?
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
Can switchboard explosion cause short circuit?
A short circuit is what usually causes a switchboard explosion.
Is it true or false that a circuit breaker must be replaced after a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker must be reset to ON after a short circuit but does not need to be replaced. It depends on the type of CB. A fuse is also a circuit breaker and it needs to be replaced after a short circuit. Relayed circuit breakers have to be "picked up" after a dropout and need not be replaced as such.

Could be a bad fuse, a bad relay, short circuit caused by ground fault, and many more reasons.
