Answer 1

Answer:

A)  All parts of the circuit will begin to carry lower amounts of current than normal.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is

a. All parts of the circuit will begin to carry higher amounts of current than normal.

Explanation:

When two or more than two conductors of different phases touch each other in a power line, the part of the impedance is shunted out of the circuit due to which a large current flow in the un-faulted phases, such current is called the short circuit current. Short circuit current decreases the impedance in the circuit while the current in the circuit increases.
