OPEN
CIRCUIT (OC)
Open
circuit between any terminals can be defined in terms of the figure below:

The
current in an open circuit is always zero regardless of the voltage across it.
Mathematically
i
= 0 and V(t) = ≠ 0, for open circuit.
Consider
the following 2 illustrations.
Illustration 3:
Refer the circuit given.
As
there is no closed circuit, current = 0.

Illustration 4:
Consider the circuit given.

Suppose
that the resistance R3 is burnt (damaged), then it acts as an open
circuit.
As
a result, the circuit becomes as shown above. Therefore, the current flowing
through R1 and R2 will be the same. i.e., they are in
series. So, RT = R1 + R2
Hence,
current from source = V1 / R1 + R2
