I assume that the person asking the question meant "open OR shorted" as these are opposite terms. Most resistors will open when they are damaged. It is very rare to find one that is shorted. To determine if the resistor is open or shorted simply use a multimeter set to measure ohms. Place the leads across the resistor and it should read the resistance value of the resistor. If it measures max range of the meter (some digitals will display "OL") then the resistor is open. If it measures 0 or very close then it is shorted, which as mentioned above, is unlikely.

Why potential transformers are open circuited?
Beacause CT is shorted so it is kept opened
What is the advantage of including a variable resistor rather than a fixed resistor of know size in a potential divider that includes and LDR or a thermistor?
a three prong calisator with intermittent interphase
When the current will be short and open circuited?
Open circuit has no current, so does that mean any resistor in series with it, has no current ,so it can be ignored for analysis( v=ir so 0 current means 0 V) for finding lets say the Thevenin equivalent.? Now for Short circuit, do we ignore a resistor in series with the short, because current will take path of least resistance and ignore that resistor? Also can short circuit have voltage through it ?

What is resistance on something that is shorted?
It depends on weather it is in a parallel or series circuit. In parallel the entire circuit it is in parallel with is shorted out. In series the total resistance decreases by the amount of the resistor that shorted out. Resistors usually open or change value with use.
Can the blower motor resistor pop a fuse when it goes out?
Typically , no. But if the blower motor has shorted out, it is possible.
How do you determine shorted resistor?
A short circuit is an unexpected path of zero resistance between two nodes in a circuit. If you measure the resistance of a resistor, and find that is has zero ohms, but the resistor is supposed to be somthing else, such as 100 ohms, then you can conclude that the resistor is shorted. Keep in mind that the precision of the measurement might be critical. If the resistor is supposed to be 100 ohms, but you get zero ohms, then the answer is easy. If the resistor is 0.001 ohms, but you get zero ohms, then you have to consider the precision of the measurement, the resistance of the wires, etc.
What is the end of line resistor used for in fire alarm circuits?
An End of Line resistor is used to create a small constant load in a protective zone or loop. The control panel monitors the current in the loop to detect if the wires have been cut open, or shorted, both of which would be either a "trouble" or "alarm" indication.
Does an open resistor measure 0 ohms?
No, an open resistor has a value of infinity. An open resistor typically will measure over 900 Megohms. A zero ohm resistor is exactly that, and will measure zero ohms. They are typically surface-mount devices.
How would youfix 1997 escort code po112?
first of you need to check your connector or asscociated wiring for damage. If this checks good make sure your resistor is not open or shorted if it is replace it. if checks good check your circuit wire and make sure it is not shorted to ground.. if it is repair wire.. if all checks good more than likely you have a bad computer
2003 Chevy trailblazer blower motor stuck on hi even with engine off?
Never mind....It was the blower resistor shorted on hi......
What are the common defects of a variable resistor?
Normally if a resistor fails they will either increase in value or open up at all (open circuit).
Your 1997 golf ac only works when the fan is set to 1 the other setting the ac light goes out and the inside fan keeps blowing what cold cause this?
Check the fan speed resistor mounted in the blower assy. it could be open or shorted!
Why does a 1994 Chevy Astro Van motor keeps running after ignition is turned off?
The blower resistor is internally shorted to power and needs to be replaced.
How can you check if 50 mega ohms resistor is open?
use a merger tester, if there are no indication to certain number of ohmic (50 M), that is mean resistor is open.
