A circuit with little or no resistance in it is called ____.
A) an open circuit
B) a short circuit
C) voltage drop
D) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A circuit with little or no resistance is called a short circuit. This is because there is very little impedance in the circuit, which can cause a high current flow and potentially damage components or start a fire. An open circuit, on the other hand, is a circuit that has a break in the path of current flow, resulting in no current flowing through the circuit. Voltage drop is a decrease in voltage that occurs as current flows through a component with resistance. Therefore, the best choice is B) a short circuit.
