    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the difference between an open and a short?

    • An open causesresistance to decrease; a short causes resistance to increase.

    • Excessive current flow in an open circuit; no current flow in a shorted component.

    • No current flow in an open circuit; excessive current flow in a shorted component.
