"Open circuit voltage" is a characteristic of a battery or power supply.
You measure it exactly as the term suggests ... disconnect any load
from it (or open the ON/OFF switch), and measure the voltage across
the terminals of the battery or power supply while it's not supplying
current to anything.
It is the supply voltage with the load disconnected.
zero
That's not always true. If you have a 12 volt battery not connected to anything and
you measure the terminal voltage, it will be 12 volts.
The full circuit voltage
The terminal voltage is equal to the supply voltage and there is zero current.
For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.
its likely to have the full supply voltage across it
Open circuit voltage is the voltage at the electrode before striking an arc (with no current being drawn). The higher the open circuit voltage, the easier it is to strike an arc because of the initial higher voltage pressure.
As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.
There is no particular benefit for having a higher open-circuit (or 'no-load') voltage. In fact, an ideal voltage source would have no internal resistance and, therefore, its open-circuit voltage would be identical to its closed-circuit voltage.
The voltage measured across an open in a series circuit is the equivalent of the sourse voltage.
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
Voltage is potential energy and can exist in a open circuit.
Open circuit means the circuit is not continuous . A short circuit is continuous but has a fault connecting between either live to neutral or earth .As result of this we saw that this answer is unsufficent to explain short and open circuit on the other hand you can use this answer also like i did:)
A: All batteries will eventually fail when that occurs the voltage out of then can be zero or higher voltage when new, In that case the battery has failed but if you measure the output it will have a higher voltage because there is no load or open circuit as soon as the load is applied the voltage just disappear this condition is called open circuit voltage
The voltage before it is hooked up to a resistive load.

Three ways a circuit can be made to be open are, blown fuse, open switch and open contact.
Such a circuit either has no voltage source, or some part of the circuit is open, e.g., an open switch.
