If an electrical circuit is not complete it is said to be?
An open circuit
What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
How does an open circuit occur?
An open circuit does not work. You need to have a complete circuit for the electrical current to flow back to its source. For example: An open circuit occurs when a series fuse blows or a connector is unplugged.
What are the safety features available in a breaker?
To detect and open the circuit if a thermal overload is present and to detect and open the circuit if a short circuit caused by a magnetic increase of flux in the circuit.
A dangerous circuit with low resistance and high current?
Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.
What is more dangerous a short circuit or an open circuit?
Open circuit Because, if there's an open, there could be machinery still running, or voltage still present. Short shuts a cct down.
Is an open circuit dangerous?
its likely to have the full supply voltage across it
Why is an open circuit called open?
An open circuit is called open because the circuit has an opening, a disconnection. In other words, there is an open space in the circuit in which the electrons cannot move through.
What do you call a circuit when the switch is open?
An open circuit....
What is the symbol for a open circuit?
When a circuit is in off condition then it is called an open circuit..
A wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a open circuit?
No. An open circuit is any CIRCUIT (from circle) which is not closed. That is; any break in the circle (circuit) makes it an open circuit.
What is open circuit voltage when load is connected?
As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.
Is tram close circuit or open circuit?
If the circuit was open, the tram's motor could not run!
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
What is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the 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 a type of circuit?
a circuit which is open
