Electric circuit conditions-

Two important extreme conditions can occur in a circuit.

Open circuit-

In an open circuit there is an infinitely high resistance in the circuit. This condition can happen in a circuit when the switch is open. Therefore, no current of flow. For example a generator is said to be in an open circuit when the switch is open and running without supplying current to the circuit. A wall socket, too, is an open circuit if the control switch of the wall socket is ‘OFF ‘or 'ON' position provided there is no appliance plugged to the wall socket.
