break state? This is a bit technical question... Is it correct to say " one end is in a break state"?? "break" in this sentence means to render a circuit inoperative by disruption. (basically stopped/disconnected) https://www.dictionary.com/browse/break "Electricity. to render (a circuit) incomplete; stop the flow of (a current)." If not, what is the common way to say the same thing? I'm sure the word "break" is used, but not sure in a break state sounds ok. Does anybody have electrical engineering background?
