If a fuse melts does it create an open circuit a closed circuit or a short circuit?

If a fuse melts, it creates an OPEN circuit, meaning that no current flows in the wires because it is no longer a complete circuit.

What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
What is the difference between a open circuit and a close circuit?
In an open circuit, electricity stops. Closed circuit, electricity goes. Therefore, in an open circuit, the electrical appliance cannot work, but in a closed circuit, the electrical appliance can workOpen Circuts are incomplete and Closed Circuts are complete and they let electrons flow through them.Checked by MacMillian MaGraw Hill Science Book.
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
What is caused by a short circuit?
A short circuit is a low resistance connection where one is unexpected. It causes a diversion of current from the intended load, and, since it is usually a higher than expected current, it often causes the protective device (fuse, circuit breaker, or relay control logic) to trip.
Why earth fault current is less than short circuit current?
A short circuit occurs when the current pass through earth directly or the current returns to its source without passing the load. It is caused by a very low or zero impedance wire that may be connected line to line or line to ground.A fault current can be a short circuit but the wire have an impedance that may still give current to the load. the protective device operates when the current exceeds the rating of circuit breaker, by load current + fault current.
Every short circuit is always a closed circuit while every closed circuit is not a short circuit?
Long winded but true.
Is a spark a closed circuit?
spark is a short circuit
Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?
A short, or short circuit.
Is a free flowing path an example of a closed circuit?
It is a closed circuit if there is a load in the circuit (light bulb etc), otherwise it is a short circuit (+ to - on a car battery with a screwdriver)
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
What is the difference between an short circuit and a closed circuit?
You know there is a differnce. The dynamic short circuit is dynamic and the static short circuit is static. It's common sense really.dyanamic means when due to some external source theresistance becomes zero ,can be through anythin due to high supply of current or anything,the current in that circiut becomes infinite and that result s in short circuiting. Static short circuit means when through the different changes in the voltage makes the resistance zero and current infinite , V = I/R WHERE R= 0 AND CURRENT BECOMES INFINIT AND THAT RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT
What is the difference between a closed and a closed circuit?
closed circuit often called short circuit it means connecting two teminal of a circuit usually plus and minus without resistanace or any component just you have to join open circuit means disconnection between plus and minus dont beak your head for this its easy ma leish habib i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is fuse what is it made up of?
A fuse in its simplest form - is simply a short piece of wire that is weaker than the circuit it is protecting. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the fuse rating, the fuse wire melts - breaking the circuit.
Which electrical safety device melts easily during a short circuit or overload?
You're talking about a "fuse". The fuse doesn't know anything about "short circuit" or "overload". It only knows that the current through it has exceeded its rated value, but nothing about how or why that occurred.
What happens when you connect live wire to ground?
This is a short circuit which will create sparks. The breaker or fuse on the circuit will likely trip or blow.
Why do your flashers continue to flash even when they are turned off?
Either your switch is jammed, or there's a short to ground somewhere in the circuit which is allowing the circuit to remain closed.
Why in a closed room if a short circuit occurs the fire doesn't stop?
Few closed rooms are truly air tight. Air will get in. There is a crack under the doorway.
