open circuit1827

1827 J. Cumming Man. Electro Dynamics iv. 164 In all cases of continued rotation, one of the conductors forms an open circuit.

1893 S. R. Bottone How to manage Dynamo 42 This line of conductors is said to form an open circuit when there is any gap in the way; and then no current can flow.

1914 R. Stanley Text-bk. Wireless Telegr. 91 Using a suitable length of spark gap the discharge of this Hertzian open circuit is oscillatory.

1977 G. V. Higgins Dreamland vi. 59 If I don't touch an open circuit..it'll be a cave-in, or a blast.

1994 Electronic Musician Oct. 123/1 Certainly a zener diode does not provide a perfect open circuit..when it is idling.

B. adj.

Of, relating to, or containing an open circuit; spec. designating a breathing apparatus in which air is exhaled into the atmosphere and so lost to the system.
