electricity always "wants" to take the easiest route, this is the route with the least resistance, this is why an insulator does not conduct electricity, it takes to much force for the electricity to travel through. a short circuit is when the easiest route is the wrong route i.e. the body of a lamp rather than the wiring of the lamp. the danger of a short circuit is dependent on the voltage and current of the electricity.

Is it dangerous to inhale canned air?
yes because the pressure is bad and it is very dangerous cause the person who made it probably works in a factory and you never know what factory it is just dangerous so DONT try doing this because you could die

What are the advantages and disadvantages of series circuits?
There are no particular advantages or disadvantages of series or parallel circuits. Some circuits require one while other circuits require the other. Frequency filters often require one or the other depending on whether you need a pass or rejection filter.
What are short circuits dangerous?
Because of the energy level involved. High-voltage short circuits can easily melt the conductors, causing them to spray liquid copper in all directions.
Why can short circuits be dangerous?
Because of a tendency of too much current to flow through part of a circuit.
Why the wiring in your home is surrounded by plastic?
because it prevents short circuits
Why is accumulation of moisture in electrical appliances dangerous?
The water can cause circuits to short or ground out, with hazards of electrical shocks or fires.

When was Short Circuits - film - created?
Short Circuits - film - was created in 2007.
What are two devices that prevent short circuits?
Insulation in good condition and keeping equipment enclosures on and tight are two things to prevent short circuits. Fuses and breakers do not prevent short circuits. They eliminate damage that could be caused by short circuits.
What two devices that help prevent short circuits?

Why is a frayed power lead regarded as dangerous?
A frayed power lead is dangerous because it exposes the internal wires, increasing the risk of electrical fires or shock. The frayed insulation can lead to short circuits, overheating, and potential electrical failures. It is important to replace frayed power leads to prevent accidents and ensure safety.
What are the safety measures and precautions should be taken for short circuits?
Go for long circuits
Do fuses protect against - A short circuits B overoading C lightning surges D large ground faults?
Short circuits.
What are the hazards of ammeter?
it will explode if it short circuits
