Which analogy best describes a short circuit? (2021)
Step 1: Imagine a water pipe system that is designed to carry water through a specific route.
Step 2: Now, think about what happens if there is a hole in the pipe that allows water to flow directly to the end without following the intended path.
Step 3: This direct flow of water is similar to a short circuit, where electricity takes a shortcut instead of following the normal path.
Step 4: Just like the hole causes too much water to flow, a short circuit allows too much electricity to flow, which can be dangerous.
