The cause of a fire in a computer is described as an incorrectly wired circuit. Which statement best explains the likely cause of the fire?

The wiring contained a short circuit, so the reduced resistance caused an increase in current.

The wiring contained an open circuit, so the reduced resistance caused an increase in current.

The wiring contained a closed circuit, so the current was redirected around the components that would have provided the proper resistance.

    The correct answer is 'The wire contained a short circuit, so the reduced resistance caused an increase in current. A short circuit occurs when the flow of electricity does not follow the intended path and flows through some components with low resistance. Current cannot flow through an open circuit.
