What is open circuit potential which is used to determine corrosion of materials?

In: Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

The open circuit (oc) potential is the potential of the working electrode relative to the reference electrode when no potential or current is being applied to the cell.

What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
If a circuit is closed, current (electricity) will flow. Open the circuit and the flow stops.
What is used to open or close an electric circuit?
A switch, when in the open position, the charged particles can't flow through the circuit, but once you close the switch, the charged particles can flow
What is used to open and close a circuit?
a switch.
How does an open circuit affect a circuit?
An open circuit is a connection that is disconnected. This can cut off parts of the circuit, losing some key functions, or it can halt the circuit entirely.
What is open circuit and short circuit?
In an open circuit, no current flows since there is no path to the load and ground. In a short circuit the supply voltage is directly connected to ground.
