Nothing. An open circuit means no current is flowing. When the circuit is closed, current flows, the filament of the bulb is heated by the current and glows, giving off light. But when the circuit is open, nothing happens.

What happens to an electric current at a switch?

At a switch, the electric current can be opened (turned off) or closed (turned on) depending on the position of the switch. When the switch is opened, the circuit is broken, and no current flows. When the switch is closed, the circuit is complete, and current can flow through the circuit.


What happens to the current through bulb 2 if the switch s is opened?

If switch S is opened, the current through bulb 2 will decrease and eventually stop flowing because the circuit is broken. Bulb 2 is connected in parallel to bulb 1 and both bulbs have the same voltage across them, so when the circuit is opened, current stops flowing through both bulbs.


What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?

If you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, it will cause an open circuit, which will break the flow of current in the circuit. As a result, all other bulbs in the series circuit will also turn off because there is no longer a complete path for the electricity to flow.
