what does an electric circuit consists of? describe open and closed circuit
Answers
Explanation:
A closed circuit has a complete path for current to flow. An open circuit doesn't, which means that it's not functional. ... This can happen when two bare wires in a circuit touch each other. The part of the circuit bypassed by the short circuit ceases to function, and a large amount of current could start to flow.
Answer:
An electric circuit consist of ;
- Voltage Source (Generator, Battery).
- Any load (Motor, light bulb...etc.).
- Some wires connecting the voltage source with the load.
This is a very simple basic circuit. Which just simulates a Potential difference and Impedance of load and the connecting wires. And current will flow through this circuit.
For safety reasons, Protection devices such as automatic circuit breakers may be used, but not the simplest form.
OPEN CIRCUIT;
An open circuit is a circuit element with resistance approaching infinity
An element with R = ∞ is known as an open circuit, as shown in Fig.
For an open circuit,
i = v/R = 0
indicating that the current is zero though the voltage could be anything.
CLOSE CIRCUIT;
A closed circuit is one with not breaks and current is flowing. So the fuse is intact. The switch is closed and our voltage source is connected. There should be current flow if the circuit is closed.
In another sense a closed circuit is like a security camera connected to a remote TV screen. It is not being broadcast and no one else is able to access the images aside the one watching the only TV screen.
