In open circuits the path for current to flow is broken. If you turn off a light switch, you are "opening the circuit", current flow stops and the lamp goes out.

What kind of circuit can electricity travel in?

Electricity can travel in both closed circuits and open circuits. In closed circuits, there is a complete loop for the electricity to flow through, allowing devices to receive power. Open circuits, on the other hand, have a gap that interrupts the flow of electricity.

Can you apply KVL and KCL in an open or short circuits?

KVL (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law) can be applied to open circuits, where the sum of voltages around a loop is zero. KCL (Kirchhoff's Current Law) can also be applied to short circuits, where the sum of currents at a node is zero. However, in these cases, the analysis may not reveal meaningful or useful information due to the extreme nature of open or short circuits.


What do open and closed circuits have in common?

Both open and closed circuits involve the flow of electric current. In an open circuit, the current is interrupted or stopped due to a gap in the circuit, while in a closed circuit, the current flows continuously through a complete loop of conductor.
