Well it sure isnt chemisty.

in electricity you can have a circut that does stuff. maybe there is a motor being powered, or a light is on.

whatever it is, it has some resistance and everything is fine.
Amps=volts/resiatance, and its amps that melt wires, so its nice when resistance is high.

but, if 2 wires get connected to bypass this longer circut making a “short circut” electricity will take that path, and the motor wont work. more importantly, the short circut probiably has almost 0 resistance, very low. which makes amps shoot MASSIVLY HIGH and its amps that melt wires and start fires soooooo something is going to break soon if the short isnt fixed
