Solution
Causes of short circuit:
They happen when a high-volume electrical current is passed through a low-resistance path that isn't meant to carry electricity.
Short circuits occur when a live wire makes contact with a conductive object that it should not have.
A short circuit can damage appliances, cause electrical shock, or even start a fire.
