An open circuit is an electric circuit that does not allow current to pass.

In a circuit, current can only flow

if it finds a continuous path—this is referred to as a "closed circuit." You have an open circuit if there is a
break anyplace in the circuit, and current cannot flow.

The two terminals are disconnected in an open circuit. As a result, the circuit's continuity is interrupted.
However, even though current cannot flow through the circuit, there is a voltage drop between two
sites.

As a result, in an open circuit, the current flowing through it is zero, but voltage is present (non-zero).

Now, power equals V multiplied by I, and current equals zero.

As a result, power is also zero, and no power is dissipated by an open circuit.
