Of course it has a break . open circuit means infinite resistance , so no electrical charge can flow through it .

What has a break it so there is no current?

A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit, effectively breaking the current. When an overload or fault occurs, the breaker opens, stopping the current to prevent damage or hazards. This safety mechanism is essential for protecting electrical systems and ensuring user safety.


How does a switch control an electric device?

A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.


What are applications of OHM METER?

It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.


What are electrical contacts?

Two answers for this question. An electrical contact is any point in a circuit that a wire connects to, such as a screw or terminal block. The term is also used when referring to control circuits. There are contacts inside Relays, Ligthting contators, and motor starters. They can be called N.O. for normally open, and or N.C. for normally closed. They "Make" of "Break" and electrical circuit.


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.


When the switch is open the buzzer is silent explain why?

When the switch is open, it creates a break in the circuit, preventing electrical current from flowing. Without the flow of current, there is no power supplied to the buzzer, which is necessary for it to produce sound. Essentially, an open switch interrupts the complete path required for the electrical circuit, rendering the buzzer silent.


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 constitutes a complete electrical circuit?

A complete electrical circuit occurs when it is possible for electrical current to flow through the electrical devices in it.

What is an electrical path that is not complete?

An electrical path that is not complete is called an open circuit. In an open circuit, there is a break in the path that prevents the flow of electricity, so the circuit is not complete and devices connected to it will not function.


What is happening when you turn an electric circuit off?

When you switch off an electrical circuit you tend to create a 'break' in the circuit, preventing the electric current to flow around the circuit, this can be caused by a simple switch or a break in the circuit, e.g a disconnected wire.
