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 is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?
it is called a circuit and when it is closed is called a closed circuit and when open circuit it is called an open circuit
Which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
A switch, circuit breaker, fuse, or switching transistor can do that.
What does plug key open mean in electric circuit?
When a plug key is open , the circuit is incomplete and is call open circuit.. To be continued..
What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
Closed. If it is open then the power is off.
What is an open circuit fault?
An open circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow cannot be completed because of an open gap that they cannot flow through.An open circuit is a circuit where the load resistance has been removed and replaced with an open, meaning there is no electrical connection between the two sides of the circuit.
What electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?
it is called a circuit and when it is closed is called a closed circuit and when open circuit it is called an open circuit
Is series circuit open or closed?
open 2nd answer: The meaning of circuit means ' a closed loop', whether it is an electric circuit, a circuit of a race, or the circuit of a traveling judge. So, by definition, the Series Circuit is closed.
How could you determine if the components of an electric circuit are properly connected?
There are two kinds of circuit closed circuit and open circuit
Which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
A switch, circuit breaker, fuse, or switching transistor can do that.
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
What does plug key open mean in electric circuit?
When a plug key is open , the circuit is incomplete and is call open circuit.. To be continued..
What is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
When a lamp is switched off is the electrical current to the light open or closed?
Open and closed does not refer to electrical current or the flow of electricity. Open or closed refers to the state of an electrical circuit. When a lamp is turned on electricity flows through wires, the switch and the lamp; and the circuit is considered closed. When a lamp is switched off the circuit is considered open (or broken) and the flow of electric current is stopped.
What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
Closed. If it is open then the power is off.
Do electric charges flow all the way through on open circuit?
No, nothing flows through an open circuit. If there are two flat plates on either side of the open circuit, facing each other, electric charge builds up on each plate until the plates are at the supply voltage. If the voltage is AC, current will flow all the time as the voltage changes, because the flat plates form a capacitor that can pass AC. But there is no net power.
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.
