Question

How does electricity flow in an electric circuit? What is meant by an open circuit?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electricity flows when electrons flow. an open circuit is when the switch is off. the circuit is open because there is no flow of electric current

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Open-circuit voltage (abbreviated as OCV or VOC ) is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when disconnected from any circuit.
