    Essentially a short circuit is an unwanted condition - where the power supply has a direct wire connection across its terminals.  It usually involves sparks and smoke (for high-power power supplies).

    A closed circuit is a wanted condition - it means that the circuit is complete and current can therefore flow through.

      The difference between a short circuit and a close circuit is simple. Short circuit means when a circuit breaks due to some reasons whereas close circuit means where the circuit ends the flow of current.
