<h3>What is an open circuit?</h3>
An open circuit can be defined as a type of electric circuit in which the continuity between the conducting wire (paths) has been broken or cut.
This ultimately implies that, an open circuit is designed and developed to prevent the flow of electric charges (electrons or currents) from one point in an electric circuit to another.
In Electrical engineering, a short usually causes an electric circuit protection device such as a fuse, circuit breaker, etc., to open when higher than normal current flows through the electrical circuit.
