Open Circuit: What is it? (And How Does it Differ To a Short Circuit)
What is an Open Circuit?An open circuit is defined as an electric circuit in which current does not flow. Current can only flow in a circuit if it finds a continuous path—known as a “closed circuit”. If there’s a break anywhere in the circuit, you have an open circuit, and current can not flow.In an open circuit, the two terminals are disconnected. Hence the continuity of the circuit is broken. But while current cannot flow through the circuit, there is some voltage drop between two points of a
