Would a shorted component in a parallel circuit cause an open to occur elsewhere?

In a parallel circuit, if one component is shorted, it effectively creates a path of zero resistance that bypasses that component. This short can lead to an increase in current through the shorted path, potentially causing other components to overheat or fail. However, it does not directly cause an open circuit elsewhere; rather, it may reduce the overall resistance of the circuit and affect the current distribution among other parallel components. If the short causes a significant voltage drop or damage, it could indirectly lead to an open circuit in other components over time.


What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?

The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.


What component can replace entire circuit?

Integrated circuit


What is resistance on something that is shorted?

It depends on weather it is in a parallel or series circuit. In parallel the entire circuit it is in parallel with is shorted out. In series the total resistance decreases by the amount of the resistor that shorted out. Resistors usually open or change value with use.


What trouble that exist in parallel circuit if one of the load in parallel circuit is shorted?

when loads are connected in parallel it means that they share common nodes at both the ends i-e voltage across all the loads is the same. when one of the load in such a circuit is shorted i-e its voltage is made zero volts, voltage across the other loads goes to zero because of parallel connection and they gets shorted also.

What type of circuit is it that has a hot conductor contacting a neutral conductor?

A shorted circuit.


What happed if ammeter is placed in parallel with the component?

Ammeters have a very low resistance, as to not interfere with the circuit they are measuring current in. As such if you connect a very low resistance in parallel, the component is essentially shorted. A great many ammeter fuses have been blown because of this.


Why is 1995 thunderbird airbag flashing 53 or 35?

35 - passenger side air bag circuit low resistance or shorted 53 - intermittent or repaired air bag circuit shorted to ground


What is the name given to a circuit that has a load or resistance total of 0.0 ohms?

In that case, the circuit is shorted, or short-circuited.


Which component is likely to be damaged if hooked into a live circuit?

If a component is hooked into a live circuit, it is likely that the component itself will be damaged.


What is the type of circuit that will not work when a component burns out?

In a series circuit, if one component burns out, the circuit will not work because the current flow is interrupted by the burnt-out component. This is because components in a series circuit share the same current.

What causes the fuel pump fuse to burn out on a 1992 ford crown Victoria?

A blown fuse indicates a shorted circuit somewhere in the system. Could be a shorted power wire to ground, or a shorted componet in the system.

What component in an electrical circuit provides resistance?

The component in an electrical circuit that provides resistance is called a resistor.
