It should not be left in open circuit, even for half an hour.
Currents of such high frequencies will oscillate, that is, surge to and fro, in an open circuit, such as an aerial wire system, as well as in a closed circuit.
An open circuit transmitter of this kind will send out waves that are four times as long as the aerial itself, but as the waves it sends out are strongly damped the Government will not permit it to be used.
In open circuit cells polarization does not have much opportunity to occur, since the circuit is closed for such a short period of time; hence, these cells are always ready to deliver a strong current when used intermittently.
Open circuit cells; Used for intermittent work, where the cell is in service for short periods of time, such as in electric bells, signaling work, and electric gas lighting.
The Leclanche cell is adapted to open circuit work, being extensively used for ringing electric bells.
Thus, the incandescent filament spinning in an unexhausted globe, the well-known Crookes experiment on open circuit, and the many others suggested, will not fail to interest the reader.
In a certain well-known class of machines known as the "open circuit," the armature contains a number of coils the terminals of which connect to commutator segments, the coils being connected across the armature in pairs.
When you find a dead cell, indicated by very low or no voltage, even on open circuit.
When one or more cells are "dead," as indicated by little or no voltage, even on open circuit.
If gassing take place for some time on open circuit, it is an indication of the presence of platinum.
The voltage of cells of all capacities is slightly above 2 volts on open circuit, and during discharge at the 8 hour rate it varies from that point at the beginning to 1.
Series machines require closed circuit to build up, while an open circuit is necessary with the shunt machine.
Open Circuit Cells are those which can give momentary currents at intervals, such as are needed for bells, telephones, etc.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "open circuit" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
