nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through

What are the circuit effects due to a short circuit or open circuit?

It would depend on the circuit diagram. In some cases, the circuit would be incomplete (simplest case is a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal).Parallel branches that have a connection to the battery without going through other branches are independent of each other. Say you have two parallel branches and a battery. If you short circuit one of the branches, the other branch will not be affected but the battery will be (current through the battery would decrease because taking out a parallel branch increases resistance).In short, it would depend on the circuit diagram. Note that for a nanosecond, there would be current in an open circuit, but after this brief time there would be no current flow in the segment of the circuit that has been shorted.


What happens when a circuit is closed?

when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.


A loop with a break in it that prevents current from flowing 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 is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?

an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit

What is open circuit voltage?

The voltage before it is hooked up to a resistive load.


Is it an open or closed circuit when the wires dont connect from the bulb to the battery?

What voltage can a open circuit battery be?

most commonly 1.5 volts


What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?

The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.


What would the current flow be if a short circuit is put across the battery's terminals?

That will depend on the internal resistance of the battery. I = E / R Where I is the current, E is the open circuit battery voltage, and R is the internal resistance of the battery.


What happens if you overload plug sockets?

the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.


What is the definition of Open circuit?

A open circut is a not full rotation like a open circle Answer: It is circuit that has no load connected to it. Therefore it may BE ABLE drive any circuit if if there a load but without a load it is open circuit. Here is an example of an open circuit: a "blown" fuse in a power supply line. Current cannot flow through an open circuit.


What happens if there is a break in parallel circuit?

If the break is in either the feeder or return line, the circuit will become open and the circuit will cease to function.


How current transformer get burn when open circuit happens?

Because of fire


What are the symptoms of auto battery not being grounded?

You would have a open circuit. It would appear dead.


What are normally open and close circuits?

The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.


What happens when a start capacitor fails?

An open circuit, by definition, has no continuity, therefore there is no current flow. A failed capacitor in an open circuit would have absolutely no effect.
