Question

What is an open circuit?

O A. A circuit that has a gap in the wire
OB. A circuit that uses very little wire
O C. A circuit that conducts an electric current
D. A circuit that has little or no resistance

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

An open circuit is a circuit that has no current flowing through it. The reason no current can flow through is due to a significant disconnect between two points in the circuit. For example, a large portion of the wire is cut out.

I haven't done any circuit analysis yet, but current can still flow through a circuit even if there is a cut. But that cut has to be extremely small.

Answer 2

Answer:

A

An open circuit is a circuit where the path has been interrupted or "opened" at some point so that current will not flow. An open circuit is also called an incomplete circuit.
