No because for electricity to go around in the circuit it has to be closed.ok here's how I learned it the wires to the electricity is is like the rollercoaster track to the car so if the circuit isn't closed or the rollercoaster track has a giant gap either the electricity won't go through or the people will fall

Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
What is Disconnector Switch?
to disconnect the circuit when faults occursAnswerA 'disconnector switch' is another term for an 'isolating switch' or 'isolator'. It is a manually-operated switch used to provide a visible break between a de-energised part of a circuit and the energised part of a circuit so that work can be carried out safely on the de-energised part. A disconnector switch is not intended to break a load current, and most certainly not designed to break a fault current -that is the function of a circuit breaker.
What is total break time of circuit breaker?

Rupturing capacity of a circuit breaker?
the maximum short current that can be safely break by the circuit breaker.
Does an open circuit have a break that interrupts the flow of electrical charges?
Of course it has a break . open circuit means infinite resistance , so no electrical charge can flow through it .
What does a switch do in its circuit?
A switch allows the circuit to have a break in it therefor making it not work. It stops the flow of electrons.
What are disadvantages and advantages for series circuits and parallel circuits?
Basically if there is a break in a parallel circuit then it will continue to work, whereas if there was a break in a series circuit everything will go off.
What are some reasons an electric circuit would not work?
The switch may be off or there is a break in the wire that stopped the electron flow in the circuit
Can a dead battery break a circuit?
Yep. This is because the device needs the battery in order to work.
Can taking a CD player out of a ford BA break the current in the circuit?
it won't work sorry
Why does short circuit break whole circuit?
Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped, Charlie the Grey
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What function in a circuit for a switch?
A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
What will happen to a buzzzer conected to an open circuit?
The buzzer will not work because there is a break in the circuit, the buzzer wont make any sound at all and it will do nothing else.
What happens if there is a break in parallel circuit?
If the break is in either the feeder or return line, the circuit will become open and the circuit will cease to function.
Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
Does blu-tack break an electrical circuit?
No, an electrical approved switch is used to break an electrical circuit.
