What is an electric current that cannot flow called?
An electric current that cannot flow is called an open circuit. This occurs when there is a break in the circuit which prevents the flow of electrons from moving through the circuit.
What is an incomplete or broken path for the flow of electricity?
An incomplete or broken path for the flow of electricity is called an open circuit. This occurs when there is a gap or break in the circuit that prevents the current from flowing. As a result, the electrical components in the circuit will not function properly or may not work at all.
When a break in a wire prevents the flow of electricity it is called?
An open circuit.
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What will an ammeter show if the circuit is broken?
Zero. No current is flowing in an open circuit. The ammeter will display an amount of 0 amps because there is no longer any current once the circuit has been broken. An ammeter measures current.
What is a circuit path called that has a break in it preventing current from flowing?
That's an "open" circuit.
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.

How are fuses and switches similar?
A fuse can break the current flowing in a circuit only once whilst a switch can break the current flowing in a circuit many times. In other words a switch can switch the current on and off - and then on again and off again - indefinitely but a fuse can only switch off the current once.
When a break in a wire prevents the flow of electricity it is called?
An open circuit.
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What does the term closed circuit mean relative to electricity?
Closed circuit means circuit is complete without any break in between and current is flowing if there is any source.
When there is a break on the circuit what is the reading?
The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed). If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.
What will an ammeter show if the circuit is broken?
Zero. No current is flowing in an open circuit. The ammeter will display an amount of 0 amps because there is no longer any current once the circuit has been broken. An ammeter measures current.
What stops the current flowing in a circuit?
Current will cease when either or both the potential difference across the load is Zero or when the load, itself, is Infinite in resistance or impedance.
True or false a shifter lock mechanism prevents shifting until the break is depressed?
It is true that a shifter lock mechanism prevents shifting until the break is depressed.
