In a series circuit, the voltage measured across an open will be:
A) source voltage
B) the normal voltage drop
C) zero
D) infinite voltage

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series circuit, if there is an open (meaning a break in the circuit), no current flows through the circuit. The voltage measured across the open will be equal to the source voltage because the entire voltage of the source will appear across the break due to no current flow allowing for no voltage drop elsewhere in the circuit.
