Which of the following would be true of current flow when a circuit is open?
A) high amperage and overheating
B) low resistance and overheating
C) current shorts directly to ground
D) no current flow
Current Flow
The quantitative flow of electrons through a closed electrical circuit, measured in amperes.
Circuit Open
A condition in an electrical circuit where a break or disconnection prevents current from flowing, often leading to the malfunction of a system or device.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
When a circuit is open, there is a break in the circuit which prevents current from flowing. This is because for current to flow, there must be a continuous path or closed loop. An open circuit disrupts this path, leading to no current flow.
