Definitions from the WebOpen CircuitDescription:An open circuit refers to an electrical circuit in which the path for current flow is interrupted or incomplete. It allows the current to break or stop flowing, preventing the circuit from functioning properly. Sense 1 (Electrical Engineering):In the field of electrical engineering, an open circuit commonly refers to a circuit that does not have a complete path for the current to travel. This can occur due to a broken wire, a switch in the off position, or a disconnected component.
