What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
Why does copper have a low resistance?
Because it is a metal so has lots of free electrons which when connected to a circuit detach from the atoms and move around the circuit. This produces a high current, so resistance will be low as current is high.
What will be the inductance in inductive circuit at low frequency?
The inductance doesn't change, but the impedance (equivalent to resistance) will be very low.
Can inserting a resistor in a circuit have an effect similar to an short circuit?
It creates an extra load to the circuit if placed parallel to other circuits. this load approaches the equivalent of a short circuit as the resistance value placed there reduces.
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.
Why short circuit has very low resistancs?
A short circuit is defined: An unintentional connection of low resistance or impedance in a circuit such that excessive and often damaging current flows in it (from Wiktionary.org) Why a short circuit has very low resistance is very simple: because that's how "short circuit" is defined.
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
A dangerous circuit with low resistance and high current?
Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.
Will a circuit component with a high resistance will have a low electric current?
Yes
What happens when you have low resistance?
Having low resistance means that there is an easier flow of electric current through a circuit. This can lead to higher current levels which could potentially damage the components in the circuit or cause overheating. It can also result in a decrease in voltage across the circuit.

Why do you mean by short circuit?
A short circuit is a low resistance connection established by an accidental touching between a line supply and a grounded object in an electric circuit. The current will flow through the low resistance point, bypassing the rest of the circuit. When this happens the circuits over current device should open the circuit.
Why does copper have a low resistance?
Because it is a metal so has lots of free electrons which when connected to a circuit detach from the atoms and move around the circuit. This produces a high current, so resistance will be low as current is high.
How can I test for a short circuit in a circuit?
To test for a short circuit in a circuit, you can use a multimeter set to measure resistance. Disconnect the power source, then place the multimeter probes at different points in the circuit. If the resistance reading is very low or zero, it indicates a short circuit.
What will happen if a voltmeter has a low shunt resistance instead of having high shunt resistance?
The purpose of a voltmeter is to indicate the potential difference between two points in a circuit.When a voltmeter is connected across a circuit, it shunts the circuit. If the voltmeter has a low resistance,it will draw a substantial amount of current. This action lowers the effective resistance of the circuit andchanges the voltage reading.
How does the loading effect of an ammeter in a low resistance circuit compare to the loading effect in a high resistance circuit?
The voltmeter has an internal resistance, which should be as high as possible. As this resistance draws current from the circuit under test, it will affect circuit operation. This is more pronounced in a high impedance circuit because the current drawn flows through higher resistances.
1 What is the effect caused by the ammeter resistance when an ammeter is inserted into a circuit to measure the current?
An ammeter has a finite resistance which is inserted in series with the rest of the circuit, increasing the total resistance and decreasing the current. A good ammeter has a very low resistance, so it shouldn't affect the circuit noticeably.
