What is meant by overloading and short circuit ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Over loading happens when a large number of appliances are connected in series to the same source of electric power. This LEADS to a flow of excess current in the electric circuit. (ii) When the amount of current passing through a WIRE exceeds the maximum permissible limit, the wires get heated to such an extent that a fire MAY be CAUSED. This is KNOWN as overloading. |
