What do you mean by open and closed electric circuit?
An open circuit is one where the current is not able to complete the circuit. An example could be a light bulb connected to power but switched off, the circuit being broken by the switch, and considered "open." When flipping the switch On, it connects the power and the circuit is then closed.
What do we call a complete unbroken path for electrons to allow?
A continuous unbroken path of electrons is a closed circuit. If there is an opening, then it is an open circuit.
What is a neutral used for in a socket circuit?
The Neutral is used to bring power back to the source to complete circuit
What is a device used to open and close an electric circuit?
The device is called a switch.
When current flows to all parts of a circuit the circuit is open?
Current only flowes in a closed circuit. Electrons have to have a complete path from the negative side of the source to the positive side.
What is a circuit with no load?
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
What is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit
If an electrical circuit is not complete it is said to be?
An open circuit
What is an electrical path that is not complete?
open circuit
How can one close an open circuit?
One can close an open circuit by adding a complete loop of wire. This will allow the electricity to flow through the circuit, while electricity will not flow in an open circuit.
What an incomplete circuit?
An incomplete circuit is an open circuit; i.e. some part of the circuit isn't connected to anything.Or think of it like this: A circuit is complete when there exists a complete (or closed loop) path for the electrons to flow through it. Also known as a closed circuit. If this is not the case, then it is an incomplete (or open) circuit.
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 happens when the circuit is complete and the switches are closed?
*Look at the simple circuit illustrated in Figure A-2. What will happen when only switch S1 is closed? Correct Answer= "Nothing will happen-the light bulb won't light up." <<>> If there is a load in the circuit the load will operate. If there is no load in the circuit and it is complete then a short circuit will occur and something in the circuit will burn open. If the circuit is complete and there is a fuse or breaker in the circuit, then the fuse or breaker will open the circuit.
What are the switches in the circuit used for?
To open and close the circuit.
What is a closed circuit?
A closed circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow forms a complete circuit.
Used to open and close a circuit?
A light switch
When a circuit is not commpletly connected it is an?
In a single loop circuit (series circuit) this will be an open circuit. If there is a current loop of some type, there's a complete path already, and thus no classification such as open or short circuited. It simply an incomplete circuit.
