When a plug key is open , the circuit is incomplete and is call open circuit.. To be continued..
See discussion page
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is not on.
If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.
Circuit breaker tripping, or non functioning outlet. The neutral and hot can be reversed, or an open ground, and you will have no symptoms. This can only be detected with a circuit tester you plug in to check the wiring.
The plug key is good for thing in the circuit. The plug key either makes it or breaks it.

the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
The appliance's circuit is open.

You can plug in as many as you want but none of them will work. An "open" circuit is an electrical circuit which is not a complete circuit and therefore electricity will not flow through it. If you mean an unused circuit,which has no load on it, then the answer is 2 ea. 5 amp devices on a 15 amp circuit and 3 ea. 5 amp devices on a 20 amp circuit. The reason for this is that any circuit is not to be "loaded" more than 80% of the OCPD (circuit breaker amperage rating.
That function was traditionally implemented in the form of a mechanical deviceknown as a "switch".The practice became so firmly embedded in the art and science of electricitythat the word became the generic term for any device that could performany similar function, so that now we have "switching transistors", integrated"CMOS switches", and even central office telephone-circuit "switches".
Outlet . . . an AC voltage source with a minuscule series impedance. Plug . . . two lines with open ends, leading to the rest of whatever the plug powers.
The source in electric cuircuit is having sex with a woman.
Circuit breaker tripping, or non functioning outlet. The neutral and hot can be reversed, or an open ground, and you will have no symptoms. This can only be detected with a circuit tester you plug in to check the wiring.
Call an electrician, chances are you have short in the plug or too much load on the circuit.' if everything is unplugged and it still trips then get it fixed it could overheat and cause a fire.
