How does one overload a circuit?
A
By giving it a 38 question quizizz
B
By forcing it to quarantine at home with 6 kids to watch and a full time job
C
By hooking up too many electrical devices to the circuit, thereby dropping the equivalent resistance and increasing the current
D
By hooking up too many electrical devices to the circuit, thereby increasing the equivalent resistance and dropping the current
E
By hooking up too many electrical devices to the circuit, thereby increasing the equivalent resistance and increasing the current
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The short circuit occurs in the system when the neutral and the live wire comes in contact with each other, whereas overload occurs when the number of electrical equipment connects to the same socket.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overloading of electric circuits occurs when an excessive amount of electricity passes through a circuit, more than the capacity of the circuit to resist the current flow.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you try to use more electricity than your circuit is made for, you get a circuit overload. This causes the overload protection to trigger. When there is a circuit overload, the circuit breaker will trip and open up, which shuts off the power supply to that circuit, cutting off electricity.
