Question

Write any two point difference between overloading and short circuiting.

Answer 1

Basis For Comparison Short Circuit Overload

Meaning	In the short-circuit the voltage at the fault point decreases to zero and current of irregular high value flow through the faulty point of the network.	The overload means that load greater than the desired value have been imposed on the system.
Voltage	Zero	The voltage becomes low, but cannot be zero.
Current	High	Low as compared to short circuit.
Occur	It occurs when the neutral and live wire touch each other.	It occurs when a large number of devices are joint in a single socket.
