Price equilibrium, or market equilibrium, occurs when the quantity of a good or service demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by producers at a specific price level. At this point, there is no tendency for the price to change, as the market clears, meaning all goods produced are sold. If the price is above equilibrium, excess supply leads to downward pressure on prices, while prices below equilibrium create excess demand, pushing prices up. Thus, market equilibrium represents a stable state in economic transactions.
The price ceiling is located below the equilibrium price on a graph depicting market equilibrium.
When the market price is lower than the equilibrium price the price of the product will continue to rise. The price will rise until it equal the equilibrium price.
A
The market price is below the equilibrium price.
A shortage in an economic market leads to an increase in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the equilibrium quantity.

A price ceiling is binding when it is below the equilibrium price. It is the legal maximum price, so the market wants to reach equilibrium (which is above that) but can't legally. If it were above the equilibrium price it would not be binding because the market would reach equilibrium and the ceiling would have no effect. A price floor is binding when it is above the equilibrium price. You can use similar reasoning to that above. It is the legal minimum price. the market wants to reach equilibrium below that but can't legally.
The price that exists when a market is clear of shortage and surplus, or is in equilibrium.
equilibrium is the responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.
When supply and demand are balanced
