the voltage standing wave ratio is defined (1+p)/(1-p), where p is the the reflection coefficient magnitude. p = 1 for an open circuit, therefore the VSWR will approach infinite.

An open circuit
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
An open circuit does not work. You need to have a complete circuit for the electrical current to flow back to its source. For example: An open circuit occurs when a series fuse blows or a connector is unplugged.
To detect and open the circuit if a thermal overload is present and to detect and open the circuit if a short circuit caused by a magnetic increase of flux in the circuit.
The general answer is that a continuity tester is used to check for an open circuit.
