Why does short circuit break whole circuit?

Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped, Charlie the Grey
