Does electric current flow in an open circuit?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Circuit**: An open circuit is one where there is a break in the path through which electric current can flow. In this case, we have a circuit with a battery and a resistor, but there is a switch that is open. 2. **Identifying the Components**: In our circuit, we have: - A voltage source (battery) denoted as V. - A resistor denoted as R. - A switch denoted as S which is currently open. ...
