Current flow is fully based on motion of electrons since there is no possibilities to motion electron in open circuit there no current flow.

What type of circuit cannot conduct an electric current?
An open circuit.
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.
What is generally not a possible condition in an electric circuit?
Current cannot flow through an open circuit.
What is electric current that flows through different parts of this circuit at the same time?
Cannot say without seeing the circuit.
Is electric current stored anywhere?
Electric current is the movement of charge around a circuit and so cannot really be stored, however, the energy which it carries is stored in most things.
What is an complete circuit?
A circuit is complete whenever current can flow from the battery (or what is producing current), through the circuit, and back to the battery. A complete circuit could contain just a battery and one wire. An incomplete circuit could be a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal, because current cannot flow all the way through the circuit in this case (i.e. cannot flow through the battery). note: not all elements in a circuit may have current flow in a complete circuit. For instance, a light bulb may be shorted but you still have a complete circuit.
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate A. Electric motors B. Electric heaters C. Electromagnets D. Transformers?
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate D. Transformers.
What is characteristics of current source?
The characteristic of the current sources is that it cannot operate in an pen circuit.
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 two parts of an electric circuit are show in the picture?
Since we cannot see the picture... we cannot help you !
Where are circuits?
Circuits are used anywhere you want to have an electrical current flow. Without a circuit, you cannot have current flow. Without current flow, you cannot do any work.
Is the circle or straight line symbol on or off for an electrical switch?
Simply put, the straight line is the on, and the circle is the off. These symbols represent an electrical circuit. The Straight line represents a closed circuit, which means the switch is on and the electric current can travel through it, and the circle means and open circuit, where the current cannot travel because the circuit is open. A quick trick to remember: "O, Open, Off".
