What will happen if there is a gap in electric circuit?

If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.


What if you left your charger on the outlet with out charging your phone what will happen?

at this point nothing has happened... you basically have extended the circuit... except it is still an open circuit... until the circuit is closed electricity doesnt move... the moment you close the circle or circuit(like by attaching your phone) then the electricity can flow... electricity needs a complete path(like a circle) to work

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 will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
