10 Questions
What is a short circuit in a circuit?
A circuit with zero resistance and infinite current
In a short circuit, what happens when a Phase or Line wire touches the Neutral wire?
The circuit breaker will blow
What is the risk associated with short circuits in the absence of proper protection?
Damaging the appliance or causing serious injury
Which type of circuit has all electrical elements connected in series?
Single branch circuits
How are elements connected in a parallel circuit?
In parallel
What type of circuit consists of elements that are series connected in some parts and parallel in others?
Series-parallel circuits
If a circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow, what type of circuit is it?
Parallel circuit
What happens to current and resistance in a short circuit?
Current increases and resistance decreases
What is the outcome when voltage tends to zero in a circuit?
Current decreases
How does a short circuit affect the flow of electricity compared to a normal circuit?
Short circuit provides more efficient electricity flow
Test your knowledge on short circuits in electrical circuits, where the resistance value is zero leading to high current flow. Learn about scenarios like closed circuits without connected loads or when phase wires touch neutral wires.
