A short-circuit is identified by_____________?

Correct answer: B. heavy current flow

  • A. no current flow
  • B. heavy current flow
  • C. voltage drop
  • D. voltage rise

Explanation

A short circuit creates a very low-impedance path, so the current rises sharply and may become several times the normal load current. A voltage drop usually accompanies this heavy current flow.
