Best Answer

open

2nd answer:

The meaning of circuit means ' a closed loop', whether it is an electric circuit, a circuit of a race, or the circuit of a traveling judge.

So, by definition, the Series Circuit is closed.

In a series circuit if 1 bulb goes out the circuit is considered open or closed?

If one bulb in a series circuit goes out, then current can't flow anywherein the circuit. A circuit in which current can't flow is an open circuit.


What determines if a circuit is open or closed?

Closed. If it is open then the power is off.


Do you need an open circuit or closed circuit for a garage door open light?

In order to illuminate the light, you need a closed circuit. It would be normally open, and closed to indicate that the door is open.

What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?

A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.


What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?

This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.


When the switch is closed it means that?

There is a complete path for the electricity to flow. The opposite of an open circuit. If a light switch is on and the light comes on, the circuit is closed. If the switch is turned off, the light goes off because the circuit is open.

How are open circuit and closed circuit similar?

Not similar at all. They are opposites.


A wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a open circuit?

No. An open circuit is any CIRCUIT (from circle) which is not closed. That is; any break in the circle (circuit) makes it an open circuit.


Why is one bulb set up along a parallel circuit actually a series circuit?

In a series circuit, if you open a bulb, current loop will be broken. So, current cannot travel all the wayback, hence no output. But in a parallel circuit, current will be only shared with parallel circuit, but the loop remains closed even if you remove the bulb. So, no change occurs.
