Answer: Open circuit is the answer

Hamza Deleon · Answer 2

Open circuit

Explanation:

An open circuit is simply an electrical circuit that is not complete. In such a circuit, there is a gap and this will not allow the electric current to pass through.

Despite all the elements being complete in the circuit, an open circuit will halt the flow of electric current and will not do deliver the necessary energy it is supposed to.

In such a circuit, the wires are cut of and not connected properly.

The reverse is a closed circuit.
