What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
A circuit is considered open if there is a gap in the path for electricity to flow, causing the current to stop. A circuit is closed when there is a complete, unbroken path for the electrical current to travel through.
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
When current flows to all parts of a circuit the circuit is open?
No, when current flows to all parts of a circuit, the circuit is actually closed and complete. An open circuit is one where there is a break or interruption in the flow of current, preventing it from completing the full loop.
What is the wire that melts and breaks a circuit if too much current is flowing?
The wire that melts and breaks a circuit when too much current flows is called a fuse. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by melting and creating an open circuit when the current exceeds a predetermined level, preventing potential damage or fire hazards. Once a fuse blows, it must be replaced to restore the circuit's functionality.
How a circuit breaker prevent from too much current flowing into device?
The current (in question) flows through both the circuit AND the circuit breaker [they are in series]. Within the circuit breaker when the current exceeds the preset limit it will open the circuit thus stopping all current flow. There are two common ways of doing this 1) magnetism - a coil pulls a switch open 2) thermal - a bimetallic strip bends away from its contacts, which opens the circuit.
What device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it?
A circuit breaker is a device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it.
Which of the circuits will the current flows?
it will open circuit

When dangerously high current flows through this overheated metal pushes the switch open to create an open circuit What is this?
A circuit breaker.
If a fuse melts does it create an open circuit a closed circuit or a short circuit?
If a fuse melts, it creates an OPEN circuit, meaning that no current flows in the wires because it is no longer a complete circuit.
What do open and closed circuits have in common?
Both open and closed circuits involve the flow of electric current. In an open circuit, the current is interrupted or stopped due to a gap in the circuit, while in a closed circuit, the current flows continuously through a complete loop of conductor.
What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?
A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.

Once a fuse blows, it must be replaced to restore the circuit's functionality.
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.
