What reading would you get if a voltmeter is placed in series across a load in closed circuit?

In series and across the load are contradictory statements. Some voltmeters are really capable of voltage, current and resistance measurements. To measure current the meter either has to be a clamp on type or one that goes in series with the load. You measure voltage drop across the load as described above.

When a switch is on is a circuit open or closed?
If the switch is what is keeping the load from turning on, then yes, there is a voltage across the open switch.
Why does an electric circuit have to be closed for it to work?
yes it does have to be a closed circuit
Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?
if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
What is the antonym of circuit?
The answer would simply be: A closed circuit, un-open path, closed , un openable?? some of thoughs? maybe?
When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials the circuit is said to be?
When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials, the circuit is said to be closed. One condition could be a closed circuit, however it could be open if the components are not assembled or are assembled incorrectly.
Does a food's liquid content affect it's voltage?
I'm sorry, but food is not usually associated with voltage. Voltage, actually electro-motive force, is a measure of the "pressure" of electricity in a circuit. (You can measure EMF in Volts where there is no closed circuit, but the voltmeter itself provides a closed circuit during measurement).
Is the sum of the potential differences equal to the voltage applied across them?
Yes for a closed circuit
Measure the voltage across a voltmeter and a switch?
If the switch is closed (connected) the voltage across it will read 0V. If the switch is open (disconnected) the voltage across it could be anything, it just depends on what the voltage between the wires going into the switch is.
How is a circuit diagram related to a closed circuit?
A circuit diagram could be related to a closed circuit if the diagram is of a closed circuit.
When a circuit is not closed?
When a circuit is not closed it is not operating.
When is a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is not closed it is not operating.
What is another word for closed circuit?
Another word for closed circuit is a loop.
When a switch is on is a circuit open or closed?
If the switch is what is keeping the load from turning on, then yes, there is a voltage across the open switch.
When a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit?
when a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit
In an closed circuit will the lights be on or off?
Lights are on in closed circuit. It means that is a current flowing when circuit is being closed.
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
Why does an electric circuit have to be closed for it to work?
yes it does have to be a closed circuit
