What is short circuiting?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Short circuiting means when live wire and the neutral wires come in contact with each other. Due to this resistance of the circuit becomes very small and huge amount of current flows through the circuit which is turn produces more heat which can cause fire.

Explain the term short circuiting. What does a short circuit lead to?

A constant current exists in an inductor coil connected to a battery. The coil is short circuited and the battery is removed. Show that the charge flown through the coil aftter the short circuiting is the same as that which flows in one time constant before the short circuiting.

An inductor (L = 100 mH), a resistor (R = 100Omega) and a battery (E = 100 V) are initially connected in series as shown in the figure. After a long time the battery is disconnected after short circuiting the points A and B. The current in the circuit 1 ms after the short circuit is
