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.

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.
Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?
A short, or short circuit.
What is the difference between an short circuit and a closed circuit?
You know there is a differnce. The dynamic short circuit is dynamic and the static short circuit is static. It's common sense really.dyanamic means when due to some external source theresistance becomes zero ,can be through anythin due to high supply of current or anything,the current in that circiut becomes infinite and that result s in short circuiting. Static short circuit means when through the different changes in the voltage makes the resistance zero and current infinite , V = I/R WHERE R= 0 AND CURRENT BECOMES INFINIT AND THAT RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT
Is the current pass through parallel short resistance?
no.because current always try to flow trough low resistance path.as short circuit has low resistance current pass trough short circuit
What is an electric circuit with little or no resistance?
A: As current approaches infinity on a device it is known as a current source.
How do you calculate short circuit capacity of generator by using reactance of the winding?
(Generator kVA / Subtransient Reactance % ) / (1.73 x Voltage) = Short Circuit Current in kA
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 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?
In shortg circuit current is infinitive.
What is short circuit ratio?
Ratio of field current required to produce rated voltage in open circuit to the field current required to produce rated current in short circuit.
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.
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'.
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 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.
What is the effect on the current when a short circuit occurs?
The current increases.
