short circuit - s/c
Cornish[kw]
skochkylgh masculine noun skochkylghyow plural S/K abbreviation A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an excessive current flowing through the circuit. The opposite of a short circuit is an "open circuit", which is an infinite resistance between two nodes.
