Why are shortcircuits dangerous?
A short circuit can start a fire.
What is more dangerous a short circuit or an open circuit?
Open circuit Because, if there's an open, there could be machinery still running, or voltage still present. Short shuts a cct down.
A dangerous circuit with low resistance and high current?
Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.
Why can short circuits be dangerous?
Because of a tendency of too much current to flow through part of a circuit.
What should be kept handy in case of there is a short circuit?
A safety obeserver who has a wooden object to pull you from the live circuit. They must be trained in CPR and know where the circuit breakers are to deactivate the dangerous circuit in case of a mishap.
Why are damaged electrical cords dangerous?
because it can can cause fire or electrical shock.
How the tubelights on a vendor's cart work?
a short circuit is brought about when short cut is provided for the current flowing there a as a result current bulb up the dangerous the electro-magnet coils are clus wonder and there is a chance of short circuit hence wire is to be inssulated so no electric currrent stops across and no short curict will be produced
What is a type of circuit where current by passes most resistance and large dangerous current flow?
A short circuit. In a properly installed system the fuse will blow to prevent a fire.
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 ?
Short circuits are dangerous because?
electricity always "wants" to take the easiest route, this is the route with the least resistance, this is why an insulator does not conduct electricity, it takes to much force for the electricity to travel through. a short circuit is when the easiest route is the wrong route i.e. the body of a lamp rather than the wiring of the lamp. the danger of a short circuit is dependent on the voltage and current of the electricity.
When does short circuit happen?
When a voltage is present between two points in a circuit (electrical outlet, battery, etc.) it normally flows through a load of some resistance to do some work. If instead a pure conductor (usually metal) connects the two points separated by a voltage, a short circuit results. Current through the short circuit is very high and usually results in fire or failure unless protected by a circuit breaker. In low-voltage, low-power electronics a short circuit might not be dangerous but is usually undesirable.
