Solution
Short circuit: Whenever naked live and neutral wires touch each other, a short circuit occurs.
Ohm's law: Current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance.
- A short circuit causes a drop in resistance of the circuit.
- According to Ohm's law, the current will then increase.
- This leads to the wires becoming hot and sparks being caused by Joule's heating effect of current.
