What do you call an incomplete circuit in which no current flows?

• A. Circuit
• B. Open Circuit
• C. Closed Circuit
• D. Reflect

Answer: (B)

Current flows only when there is a complete loop for charges to move. If there’s a gap in the path, the circuit is broken and no current can travel. That situation is called an open circuit. A circuit by itself just means any path that could conduct electricity, but it doesn’t guarantee it’s complete. A closed circuit is the opposite, where the loop is complete and current does flow. Reflect isn’t about electrical flow at all. So open circuit is the best term because it describes the broken path where no current flows.
