A short circuit is one that is characterized by extremely low resistance. This will result in the extremely dramatic increase of current. High current will flow until a safety device opens the circuit, or the weakest link in it burns out. And one of the two usually occurs in a moment or two.
==
Short Circuit happens when the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens to the ammeter reading if resistor is removed?
If the resistor is removed from the circuit, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This causes the total current in the circuit to increase, which would result in an increase in the ammeter reading.
What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, when a light bulb is broken, it creates an open circuit which stops the flow of current throughout the circuit. As a result, all the other light bulbs in the circuit will also stop working because they are all connected in a series.
What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?
In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.
What happens when a circuit closes?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
What happens in a circuit if you increase the voltage of the battery driving it?
The power in the circuit will increase.
What happens if a wire breaks?
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
What happens when the parts of the circuit are properly connected?
oppen circuit
What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?
The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.
What happens if you overload plug sockets?
the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
What happens if there is a break in parallel circuit?
If the break is in either the feeder or return line, the circuit will become open and the circuit will cease to function.
What is the condition of maximium power transfer of circuit?
Maximum power transfer happens in a circuit when the resistance of the circuit equals the reactance. Impedance Z = R + jX. At R=X, maximum power transfer happens.
When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?
The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.
What happens to the potential difference of a bulb that burns out in series circuit?
The whole circuit fails - because the action of the bulb blowing cuts the circuit.
