electrical resistence is occur in conductor due to over flow of current,in conductor

Answer

Resistance is not due to the 'flow of current'. It exists whether current is flowing or not! Resistance is determined by the type of material and its physical dimensions. Resistance depends upon the resistivity (which is also affected by temperature) of the material, and the length and cross-sectional area of that material.

The property of materials to oppose the flow of current is called as resistance. Electrical resistance occurs due to the collision of electrons to the lattice ions.

Resistance occurs in wires when electrons collide with atoms. This slows down the flow of electrons, which means that the current will decrease.

What is the cause of resistance and how the resistance and how the resistance of a wire can be determined?

Electrical resistance can be determined by the equation that defines resistance - Ohm's Law. Just divide the voltage across a resistor, by the current passing through it.


Resistance in wires causes electrical energy to be converted to what energy form?

What may cause an electrical conductor to heat up?

All ordinary conductors have some resistance to the flow of electrical current. When current flows through resistance power is produced and dissipated as heat.


What is a short circuit how does it happen and why is it dangerous?

A short circuit is when the current in a circuit flows directly from the live/phase conductor to the neutral conductor without passing through a load. This is dangerous because the amount of current in a circuit is determined by the resistance/impedance (assuming constant voltage). The resistance of the conductor is very low and this allows large amounts of current to flow which should operate the circuits protective device (fuse). In the absence of a protective device the current will cause the conuctor toheat up first producing fumes from burning insulation and eventually seting on fire.


What is the purpose of sealing around electrical wires and plumbing found in a home?

Primarily to keep and and all moisture away from the electrical connections. Water is a conductor of electricity ... if it comes into contact with electrical wires, it will cause a direct short and possible fire.
