Best Answer

An open circuit is a connection that is disconnected. This can cut off parts of the circuit, losing some key functions, or it can halt the circuit entirely.

A closed path through which electrons can flow is?

A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.


Why does an electric circuit that operates correctly need to be closed circuit?

In order to have the electricity or the flow or electrons going around the circuit, the circuit must be closed. If it is not closed then electrons cannot flow.


What will happen to the charges in a circuit a when a switch is closed?

the electrons are not allowed to enter into the circuit.


What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?

When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.


What is a closed path through which current can flow?

A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)


In a closed circuit current flow means flow of electrons or charge from genarator to load?

To be more accurate, current flow consists of electrons flowingfrom generator, through load and back to generator.


What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?

If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.


Is there a difference between an open and closed circuit?

In an open circuit, the electrons cannot flow easily because one of the parts in a circuit is not connected, whereas, in a closed circuit all the parts are connected, therefore, the electrons can flow easily. Hope this helps:)


Why can't electrons flow through an incomplete circuit but they can flow through a complete circuit?

Your question is its own answer.


What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through it?

Closed circuit


What an incomplete circuit?

An incomplete circuit is an open circuit; i.e. some part of the circuit isn't connected to anything.Or think of it like this: A circuit is complete when there exists a complete (or closed loop) path for the electrons to flow through it. Also known as a closed circuit. If this is not the case, then it is an incomplete (or open) circuit.


Do electric charges flow all the way through on open circuit?

No, nothing flows through an open circuit. If there are two flat plates on either side of the open circuit, facing each other, electric charge builds up on each plate until the plates are at the supply voltage. If the voltage is AC, current will flow all the time as the voltage changes, because the flat plates form a capacitor that can pass AC. But there is no net power.
