Current through that part of the circuit will stop.
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
That's an "open" circuit.
An open circuit is a break in the conductive path of the circuit,thus stopping current flow.
That is called a switch.
Presumably, the current follows a path (a circuit) to do whatever it was "made" to do. If water, for instance, enters the circuit, a shorter path may develop, and the current will (partially) take the short circuit. Or a wire could become lose and short circuit the intended path.
Electric current can flow through a continuous path which can also be described as a closed circuit. Conversely, any break or opening in a circuit is called an open circuit. Charges can only flow through a closed circuit.
A circuit with a separate path for each load is a dedicated circuit. <<>> A circuit with a separate path for each load is a parallel circuit.
Ground loop isolators are used to break the DC circuit path for the audio shield ground circuit. It removes ground loops from the system, which are unwanted.
A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.
That path might be called a circuit. If the path is complete, it's a closed circuit.
The electrical path is termed an electrical circuit.
