Want this question answered?
The voltage measured across an open in a series circuit is the equivalent of the sourse voltage.
Electric current does not drop. Electric voltage, however, drops across a wire because the wire has non-zero resistance. (Do not confuse electric current with electric voltage - they are not the same.)The reason current does not drop is that, in a series circuit, according to Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
No one is going to be able to tell you that. You are looking for the measured voltage, so go and measure it. In any case, if you were just looking for the voltage it will depend on the circuit current. You can work it out using ohms law (Voltage = Current * Resistance).
there is 120V across the circuit.
At the typical U.S. home, the voltage at the wall outlet is somewhere between 110 and 120 Volts AC. Most U.S. homes also have 220 Volts (which is actually somewhere between 220 and 240 VAC) available, but not wired to most rooms.

The full circuit voltage
It's measured with an AC voltmeter.
The source of electrons in a circuit is supplied by an electric potential difference across two points . This potential difference in a circuit is called as voltage and is measured in joules per coulomb or volts.
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
Voltage sources provide the voltage difference across an electrical circuit, these may be batteries, generators, alternators, solar cells, etc.
Voltage is impressed across a circuit. Current flows through a circuit.
How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?

As the resistance is reduced across the same voltage, the current increases.
