If the price ceiling is above equilibrium: no effect.
If the price ceiling is below equilibrium: price lowers to the ceiling level and supply falls. There is too much demand for the current level of supply. A black market forms to capture unmet demand at high prices.

When is price ceiling non-binding?
Binding Versus Non-Binding price ceilingsA price ceiling can be set above or below the free-market equilibrium price. For a price ceiling to be effective, it must differ from the free market price. In the graph at right, the supply and demand curves intersect to determine the free-market quantity and price. The dashed line represents a price ceiling set above the free-market price, called a non-binding price ceiling. In this case, the ceiling has no practical effect. The government has mandated a maximum price, but the market price is established well below that.In contrast, the solid green line is a price ceiling set below the free market price, called a binding price ceiling. In this case, the price ceiling has a measurable impact on the market.

How does price ceilings affect supply and demand?
A price ceiling prevents a price from rising above the ceiling. It represents an upper limit on the price of something. If wheat has a price ceiling of $400 per metric tonne, $400 is the highest amount any what supplier can charge. If the market price for wheat is below the ceiling, say $200 in this example, then the ceiling has no effect on prices; the ceiling is not binding. If the market price is higher than the ceiling, supply and demand cannot reach equilibrium and there is a shortage in the commodity. Artificially low prices result in demand that exceeds supply. The price, however, remains stuck at the ceiling.

Why is a price ceiling a distortion of the price mechanism?
price ceiling makes a bar on the equilibrium prices. it compels the suppliers to charge the ceiling price from the consumers. it is generally lower than the equilibrium price. at this price quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded and the market is not in equilibrium.
