Question 4 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which statement describes an open circuit?

Answer
A
The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit shine.
B
The circuit is complete and unbroken, and the lights in the circuit shine.
C
The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.
D
The circuit is complete and unbroken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.

Explanation

An open circuit has a break or gap, so the path for electric current is incomplete. Because current cannot flow through the circuit, the lights do not shine. Therefore, the statement describing an incomplete, broken circuit with lights that do not shine is correct.
