Question

What will happen when an electric circuit is open ?

• A. Current will flow in each and every part of circuit
• B. Current will not flow in any part of circuit
• C. Current will flow in half part of the circuit
• D. Current will be maximum in the circuit

Answer 1

The correct option is B Current will not flow in any part of circuit

Electric current is a flow of electric charge.But current only flows in closed paths. No current can flow if the circuit is broken, for example, when a switch is open in the circuit ,current will not flow in any part of circuit as circuit is open and there is no closed path available for charge to flow.
