opencircuited
Opencircuited refers to a condition in electrical and electronic circuits in which there is no complete conducting path for current. This occurs when a circuit is interrupted by an open switch, a broken wire, a disconnect, or any defect that leaves part of the circuit electrically isolated. An opencircuited path is characterized by extremely high impedance, effectively infinite in ideal terms, and negligible current flow through that path.
Voltage behavior in an opencircuited condition can vary. While current is zero, there can still be a
Applications and testing often rely on opencircuited conditions. Open-circuit tests help determine the output voltage of
Practical considerations include the fact that opencircuited inputs or outputs can be susceptible to noise or
