No current will flow though a circuit which is broken.
An open circuit.
If there's a broken wire then the circuit is no longer closed. It's open.
The effect of an open circuit is that no current will flow.
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
One
The live wire
If there's a broken wire then the circuit is no longer closed. It's open.
because the circuit is not a full circuit so it wont work!
Current will cease to flow in a series electrical circuit.
The effect of an open circuit is that no current will flow.
The electricity follows the entire length of the wire. if any part of the circuit is broken, all the electricity stops moving in the circuit.
a circuit is the path electricity flows through
If is being used as an ohmmeter it usually means an open circuit. A switch may be open, or a wire is broken (not a short circuit)
hen the wire inside the resistor will melt and the circuit will be broken
In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.

A broken path can be bridged with a piece of wire, and if it isn't all surface mounted, a broken component can be de-soldered and replaced.
The sensor circuit has gone "open circuit". Possible bad sensor or broken wire.
Typical home wiring will have one hot wire, one neutral wire, and one ground wire per circuit. An open neutral would indicate that the neutral wire, usually white wire, is broken.
