| THE CIRCUITS - EFFECTS OF AN OPEN CIRCUIT | ||
Shown here is a series circuit consisting of two resistors and a fuse. Note the effects on circuit conditions when the fuse opens. In accordance with Ohm’s Law, since current has ceased to flow, there is no longer a voltage drop across the resistors. Each end of the open conducting path becomes an extension of the battery terminals and the voltage felt across the open is equal to the applied voltage. |
