What happens if live wire is connected to neutral?

It is the condition of the short circuit if the live wire comes directly to the neutral wire. Is that correct? In case of Normal wire, everything will become normal except for the conductor or wire.

RELATED QUESTIONS

How does a neutral wire becomes live?
In most installations the live is at the required voltage and the neutral line is connected to the ground at a point. If the device is on, the neutral will be connected to the live wire and the voltage will not be zero.
What happens if you mix up live and neutral?
It will work if you swap live and neutral which is connected to a lamp. The lamp switch is on the Live side. Even though you have switched the lamp off, the light is still on because you broke the neutral return path.
What happens when wires short?
A short circuit is any electrical flow that strays outside its intended circuit with little or no resistance. Bare wires touching one another are usually the cause. When insulation on wires is melted, short circuits can occur.
What if there is no neutral wire?
The neutral wire allows the circuit to be completed even if the switch is turned off. The circuit is broken when the switch is off because there is no neutral wire in place. It has power when the switch is on.
What will happen if the positive and negative connections on the voltmeter are reversed?
It will show a negative reading if it is connected in a reverse manner and reading DC. A reverse DC connection will result in a zero reading if it is an analog meter. It won't make a difference if you reverse the meter connection.
What happens if a live wire touches a neutral wire?
The neutral wire is touched by the live wire. The path from the live to the neutral wire has very low resistance and will create a short circuit if the large current exceeds the fuse rating. There will be a blow. The earth wire is touched by the live wire.
