The power supply provide max current and voltage droops accordingly. If the supply has a relatively high internal resistance compared to the short (nothing is truly zero)then V=0, I=max. If the supply is capable of higher currents, then maybe a fuse blows, the wire melts, or a fire starts.
If we're talking 9v little transistor radio battery and 18Guage wire, V=0 and I~200ma.
If we're talking 12V,1000Amp auto battery, the 18G wire melts, voltage barely twitches before the circuit opens.
So it's all relative...

The difference between short to a voltage circuit and short to a ground circuit?
A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes intended to be at different voltages. A voltage circuit is caused intentionally for the purpose of voltage sensing. A ground circuit occurs between a phase and the ground.
What is the voltage across any short circuit?
zero.........
How does the cut in voltage effects the output of a diode clipper?
For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.
Why were instrument of a transformer placed on a high voltage side in short circuit test?
I assume "tension" in this question should be replaced with "voltage". Short circuit tests are often performed from the lower voltage side of the transformer, since a lower voltage source is then required to perform the test. Often times the test lab may not have a source that can output a high enough voltage to perform from the high voltage winding.
Why open circuit test is performed on low voltage side?
generally open circuit test is performed on the low voltage side.....not on high voltage side.... becuase on low voltage side, we can apply that low voltage very easily ( i.e with a less amount of source is required)... whereas on high voltage side, we need a large power source in order to apply full voltage... in short circuit test, we will test on high voltage side by keeping Low voltage side being short circuit.because high voltage side needs less current source than low voltage side....
What is a short to voltage?
what is short to voltage in a car electrical circuit & how to check it ?
Can a short circuit cause low voltage?
Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.
The difference between short to a voltage circuit and short to a ground circuit?
A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes intended to be at different voltages. A voltage circuit is caused intentionally for the purpose of voltage sensing. A ground circuit occurs between a phase and the ground.
Normally a high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no change to the voltage. Why is this?
A high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no voltage change because the resistance across the short circuit is zero.
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 short circuit voltage?
Short circuit voltage is the voltage that has to be applied to the primaries of a transformer, so that the nominal current flows through the secondaries, when they are shorted. This value is important, if transformer secondaries shall be used in parallel. Ideally all transformers with parallel secondaries should have the same short circuit voltage. When their short circuit voltages are different, the transformer with the lower short circuit voltage will be loaded more than their relationship of power ratings would predict. The short circuit voltage is also important in the design of a transformer, because it predicts, how much the secondary voltage will drop at nominal output current. This knowledge helps the designer to find out, how many further windings the secondary needs for a certain voltage in relation to an ideal transformer. Short circuit voltage is also known as impedance voltage.
Why do you put the meters in the high voltage side in the short circuit test?
in the short circuit test we applied supply voltage on L.V side and short circuit the H.V side and connect the ammeter in H.V circuit to measure the short circuit current. with the help of s.c test we measure the copper losses in the transformers.
What is the voltage across any short circuit?
zero.........
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 high voltage is kept open in open circuit and low voltage is shorted in short circuit test?
In Short circuit test High Voltage side is feeded with 2-5% of the High Voltage rating to circulate approximately full load current in low voltage winding by short circuiting it. Low voltage is generally short circuited to facilitate measurements because it is more difficult to measure the quantities at high voltages.
In an electrical circuit a voltage difference is?
Volt difference causes a short circuit! ChaCha
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
