Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Open circuit is an electronic component in which the continuity is interrupted such that there is no supply of current.

An open circuit indicates that there are explicitly isolated points between the input junctions. This implies, irrespective of any voltage differential, that zero current will pass between the input junctions.
