What is the difference between overloading and short circuit |
|
Answer» Short Circuit\xa0occurs when neutral wire and live wire touch accidentally providing a very low resistance path for current. ...\xa0Overloading\xa0of the\xa0circuit\xa0occurs when large number of appliances are connected in a single socket. This causes a large amount of current to flow and the fuse may blow off....hope it will help u ?? Short-Circuit\tOccurs when live comes in contact with neutral wire.\tHigh amount of current flows through the circuit.\tThe potential difference at the point of short-circuiting will drop to zero.Overload\tOccurs when large number of appliances are turned on simultaneously.\tLow amount of current flows through the circuit as compared to short-circuit.\tThe potential difference does not drop to zero but it does reduce. |
