Question

At the time of short circuit, the current in the circuit.

• A. does not change
• B. keeps on increasing and decreasing continuously
• C. decreases considerably
• D. increases heavily

Answer 1

The correct option is D increases heavily

Answer is D.
A short circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path, often where essentially no (or a very low) electrical impedance is encountered.
For example, a common type of short circuit occurs when the positive and negative terminals of a battery are connected with a low-resistance conductor, like a wire. With low resistance in the connection, a high current exists, causing the cell to deliver a large amount of energy in a short time.
Hence, during a short circuit, the current in the circuit increases heavily.
