An open in a series circuit results in:
A)no current flow.
B)sourceVoltage appearing across the open.
C)no power dissipation.
D)all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An open in a series circuit breaks the continuity of the circuit and hence no current flow is possible. As a result, the source voltage appears across the open, which means that there is a potential difference across the open. Since no current flows through the open, there is no power dissipation in the circuit. Therefore, all the given options are correct.
