A short circuit = 0 ohm, from this one can use ohms law to calculate the current, that is E/R voltage divided by resistance as in this instance your resistance is zero and you can't divide by zero so your current will be infinit. In other words if your power supply is large enough to supply 200 amp, your current on a short circuit will be 200 amp.

What is output short circuit current?

The output short circuit current is the solar cell's current when the voltage is zero, or when it, is short circuited.


Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.


What is the effect of transformer impedance on short circuit current?

Short circuit current will increase a lot.


What is the units for the short circuit current?

The unit for short circuit current is typically measured in amperes (A) or kiloamperes (kA). It represents the maximum current that can flow in a circuit under a short circuit condition.


What is short circuit ratio of an alternator?

Short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required for the rated voltage at open circuit to the field current required for the rated armature current at short circuit


How short circuit current measure?

What term is used to describe current that can flow in a circuit as a result of an undesired short circuit?

Generically, it's an 'overcurrent'; specifically, it's a 'short-circuit current'.


How we calculate magnitude of current in circuit?

It is nothing but how much current or voltage taken in the circuit. It is known as Magnitude.


Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?

Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.


What is the effect on the current when a short circuit occurs?

The current increases.


What is the design value of short circuit ration of generator?

short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current to open short circuit voltage n the open circuit current. its value for thermal is less than hydro type.


How short is a shortcircuit?

A short circuit is so short that all the current in the entire network prefers to pass through it! Actually, whenever in a network/circuit there are two parallel paths for the current to flow, the current chooses the path of least impedance. As such, a circuit with no impedance of any sort is called a short circuit cuz the entire current passes through it.
