Answer:

The most dangerous aspect of a short circuit is that it will cause a sudden and dramatic change in electrical resistance. Electrical systems can cause a large amount of resistance and will be constantly sending electricity to different areas when appliances are plugged in or outlets are being used.

In electrical devices, short circuits are usually caused by a breakdown in a wires insulation or when another conductor is introduced and causes the electricity to flow in an unintended way. To fix this problem, you will need to replace the wire.
