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.
