  • This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into open circuits, closed circuits, and short circuits. An open circuit contains a break in the circuit and does not conduct electricity. The closed circuit is a circuit that conducts an electric current and has a measurable amount of resistance. The short circuit is a closed circuit with almost no resistance which allows a large amount of electricity to flow in the conductor which can be a fire hazard. This video also briefly discusses the purpose of a fuse and a circuit breaker to prevent the formation of a short circuit.

    I finally understood the short, open and closed circuits. Every short circuit is a closed circuit, but every closed circuit is not a short circuit, because in closed circuits there is some resistance, and thus the current passage is limited. But short circuits are dangerous, cables can burn 'cause there is no resistance in the circuit. Well done

      The flow of electrons is termed electron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. Conventional current or simply current, behaves as if positive charge carriers cause current flow. Conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative.

    How does a voltage develop across the unconnected end of a single wire connected to one terminal of a battery and the other terminal?
    If the battery’s net charge is zero, then for a 12 V battery, one terminal would be at a potential of +6 V with respect to a conductor at infinity, while the other terminal would be at -6 V. At the physical center in the space between the two terminals of the battery, the voltage is zero.
    If we then connect a small wire to, say, the positive terminal, a few excess point charges will move onto the wire, and that wire will now be at the same potential as the battery terminal: +6 V. The wire will be surrounded by an e-field, and since the lines of electrostatic flux must always terminate upon charges, the wires must possess an excess surface charge.
    In the above we assumed the net charge of the battery was zero. Supposing that the battery had a net charge. Then how would the charges, potentials and voltage be changed?
    Before we answer this, it would be instructive to understand Current, the conduction process and Voltage at the fundamental level.
    Electrostatics and circuits belong to one science not two as in the following two videos:
    i. th-cam.com/video/REsWdd76qxc/w-d-xo.html and
    ii. th-cam.com/video/8BQM_xw2Rfo/w-d-xo.html
    Returning to our question of the voltage of the single wire connected to one battery terminal, we assume the net charge of the battery was not initially zero. Perhaps someone with rubber-sole shoes carried the battery while walking on a wool carpet or perhaps the battery was charged to -5000 V, and would deliver a tiny spark if touched. In that case one terminal would still be 12 V different than the other terminal, perhaps -5000 V on the positive terminal and -5012 V on the negative.
    It is not possible in this brief post to discuss in more detail the process of production of the voltage of the single wire without a detailed discussion of the capacitance and potential of single conductors.
    The last frame References in video #1 lists textbook 4 which discusses these topics comprehensively using a unified approach and provides an intuitive understanding of voltage of a single short and long wire with and without a net charge on the battery.

      yes but these styles of diagrams came to be before we knew that, and people just assumed it went from positive to negative, and to this day diagrams are still often drawn this way.
      so yes it is wrong but universally we just agree to draw these diagrams backward.

      Nope,remember current is just the flow of charge,and charge can be positive or negative,negative charge is brought about by the repulsion of electrons on the negative side of the battery terminal,due to a negative electric field.
      While a positive charge is brought about,by the repulsion of protons(positive test charge),from the positive side of the battery terminal,due to a positive electric field.
      So in physics we normally use the flow of charge,by convention,which is positive charge,from the positive side of the battery flowing to the negative side of it,instead of the flow of electrons.

      In electron flow theory the electron flows from the negative of the source to the positive.
      This video is using conventional or "hole" flow. Meaning the positive charge left behind by the electron leaving moves positive to negative.
      So the negative electron moves negative to positive but the positive hole it leaves behind moves the opposite way.

      You are correct, it is not a circuit, but a name must be given to it for a reference point. If a fuse busts a closed circuit, will you say, "thank goodness that fuse made the closed circuit "not a circuit"? It makes much more sense to give the situation a name within the context in which you are in. What is the opposite of closed? Open. What is an open circuit? Not a circuit.

      Let me use your logic again. When something breaks (a computer, car, or tv) and it no longer works, do you seriously call it "not a computer"? "By definition" a computer makes computations, do you seriously intend to call it not a computer? No, that's ridiculous. You would just call it a broken computer. Or in our case, a broken circuit, a.k.a. an open circuit.
