Each Circuit City store can have different hours. For instance the one in my area:

Sunday 11:00am to 7pm

Monday through Saturday 10:00am to 9pm

To find a store near you I have added a store locator link in the resources section.

Do electric charges flow all the way through on open circuit?

No, nothing flows through an open circuit. If there are two flat plates on either side of the open circuit, facing each other, electric charge builds up on each plate until the plates are at the supply voltage. If the voltage is AC, current will flow all the time as the voltage changes, because the flat plates form a capacitor that can pass AC. But there is no net power.


What is the magnetization characteristic of the DC machine?

magnetisation characteristic of dc generator is nothing but the open circuit characteristic of dc generator where we determine the operating characteristics of dc machines.it is used to determine the open circuit armature voltage keeping armature current zero,at rated speed and after few laps of time filed current is gonig to be raised from zero.where the armature open circuit voltage is reached above its rated value.

Why electricity does not flow through an open circuit but flows through a closed circuit?

Electricity does not flow in open circuit because the path is not a complete circuit and has the maximum impedance to flow of electricity while it flows in short circuit because electricity always wants a path with least impedance to flow which short circuit is one of such pathAnswerCurrent can jndeed flow through an open circuit. A capacitor is an open circuit, yet it will allow a d.c. current to flow for a short period of time, and an a.c. current can flow continuously.


Can a 600VAC switch be used if a 600VDC switch in unavailable?

No. An AC switch cannot break the arc that occurs when you try to open the DC circuit. In an AC circuit the switch just handles the arc for a short period of time until the voltage reverses.


Why capacitor behave as open circuit against alternating current?

Capacitors store electrical charge. Imagine we have a capacitor. At time 0 seconds we connect a DC voltage across the capacitor - immediately as the voltage is connected the capacitor is at 0 volts and the maximum current (relative to the circuit resistance) flows. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as a short circuit, so for high frequency AC volts we should treat a capacitor as being a short circuit. As time passes the current in the circuit will go down and the voltage of the capacitor will go up - this is because as the capacitor gains more charge it gains more voltage, lowering the voltage across any resistance in the circuit consequently lowering the current in the circuit. When the capacitor is virtually full no current will flow at all and the voltage across the capacitor will equal the DC source voltage. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as an open circuit, so for low frequency AC (allowing the capacitor to fill up before the current alternates) we can treat the capacitor as being an open circuit. Technically, it is not an open/closed circuit when it comes to AC because the capacitance will results in a signal lag or lead. However, if the frequency is low/high enough the lag/lead is often negligable.
