a price ceiling set below the market equilibrium creates an excess demand, leading to a shortage of the good. Think about it like this, if a good is a lot cheaper than it should be, more people would want to buy it, but less people would want to make it, since its so cheap.
Excess Supply
Price Floor.
below equilibrium price and causes a shortage
When a maximum price is set for a good or service, it is set below the equilibrium. This is supposed to help consumers but due to the excess demand, a black market will emerge and goods and services will be sold at black market prices (which will be higher than the maximum price or price ceiling) A minumum price is set abouve the equlibrium price. This is done to help producers, however all this will do is create an excess supply and a black market will emerge where goods will be sold at a lower price.
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.

Scarcity of the product, or if the price of the product has dropped. JohnnyChampagne's answer: When quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied. When the actual price in a market is below the equilibrium price, you have excess demand, because a low price encourages buyers and discourages sellers.
The market price is below the equilibrium price.
