Question

Statement 1: In a closed circuit, current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the battery.
Statement 2: In an open circuit, current does not flow.
Which of the following options is correct based on the above given statements?

• A. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false
• B. Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true
• C. Both statements are true
  
• D. Both statements are false
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Current always flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery in a closed circuit.
Thus, statement 1 is false.
In an open circuit, current does not flow. Thus, statement 2 is true.
Hence, statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true.
