inductance
Caused by a voltage spike to do with collapsing magnetic fields in a load. A suppresor fitted across the terminals should stop it.
No because a circuit without power applied can only be shown to be a short circuit after the power is applied between the 'right' two points.
To protect connections from damage and for safety should sparking occur or from a nosey kid.

Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped, Charlie the Grey
It is not "necessary" for oscillation to occur in any "arbitrary" circuit. It depends on the design objectives. Please be more specific, and restate the question.
Energy is stored in the battery in a flashlight. When switched off, the energy is chemical potential energy. When you switch on, chemical reactions occur, the chemical energy is changed to electrical energy in the circuit, and then electrical energy is changed to light energy in the bulb.
The circuit will de-energize.
The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.
For a closed circuit to occur, you need a power source to provide energy, a complete loop or pathway for the current to flow through (including conductive materials and wires), and a load or device that uses the electrical energy flowing in the circuit. This allows the circuit to be continuous and functional.
No. A circuit breaker is like a fuse, it protects a circuit from a catastrophe if a dead short should occur.
Your blanket may be sparking due to static electricity buildup, which can occur when certain materials rub against each other. This can happen when the blanket is made of synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. The friction between the blanket and other surfaces can create a charge imbalance, leading to sparks.
