The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed).
If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.

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.
In diagram 1 the ammeter reading is zero.what is wrong with the circuit?
If the ammeter reading in Diagram 1 is zero, it indicates that there is no current flowing through the circuit. This could be due to an open circuit, meaning there is a break or disconnection somewhere in the circuit path. Other possible reasons include a faulty ammeter or components that are not functioning properly, such as a burned-out fuse or a disconnected power source. To diagnose the issue, check for continuity and ensure all components are securely connected and operational.

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 .
Does an Ohmeter that has an infinite reading indicates an open circuit?
Yes, an infinite reading on an Ohmmeter usually indicates an open circuit. This means that there is a break in the circuit, preventing the flow of current and resulting in the high resistance reading.
What happens to an ammeter when there is a break in a circuit?
An ammeter reads the current that is flowing through a branch of a circuit. If there is a break within that same branch of the circuit, current will not be able to flow through that branch of the circuit as it forms an incomplete loop, so the ammeter will read 0 A of current. If there is a break in a circuit in a branch that is not connected to the ammeter however, the ammeter will give a higher reading of the current. This is assuming that the break in the other branch does not short out the branch with the ammeter attached, and that the circuit can still form a complete loop without that branch.
How much current flows in a circuit with an open circuit?
None.AnswerIt depends! A capacitor is an open circuit, yet a.c. current flows quite readily. And d.c. current will flow for a very short period of time.
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 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 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.
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?
A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.
Can make a break in a circuit?
no
