Is there any difference between "surge and overload" when it comes to something which is increasing?

An "overload" means that the amount has crossed some kind of line or threshold. (Usually this is a bad thing, for example with electrical circuits) A "surge" is a sudden increase. It is possible to have a surge, or many surges, without an overload. For example: "There were many electrical surges during the storm, but the system was not overloaded." Good luck!

Hi Chris, A "surge" is a sudden, large increase in something. "Overload" usually means that the increase that happened is too much for the person/system/structure that has to handle it. An overload can come from a sudden surge, or it could also come from a more gradual increase that never stops. Hope that helps!
