what is the difference between an open and closed circuit?
Answers
Any circuit which is not complete is considered an open circuit. ... For example, a circuit connected to a dead battery may not perform any work, but it is still a closed circuit. A circuit is considered to be closed when electricity flows from an energy source to the desired endpoint of the circuit.
Answer:
OPEN CIRCUIT :-
➡️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.
➡️The common electrical industry terminology would be to say that the circuit breaker or fuse "opened" or tripped the circuit.
➡️ An example of an open circuit - is a string of electric lights that don't work if one bulb goes out.
CLOSED CIRCUIT :-
➡️The definition of closed circuit is a system where video or other media is transmitted through connected cables and wires, not through the air.
➡️A closed circuit is one that is complete, with good continuity throughout.
➡️A device designed to open or close a circuit under controlled conditions is called a switch.
➡️An example of closed circuit - When you have a video camera directly connected to a TV on the property that shows images from the video camera, this is an example of a closed-circuit TV.
