2. Not related; having nothing to do with each other: two unconnected events. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/unconnected/#m2)

### In the lessons

In science: an unconnected wire breaks a circuit, so the bulb stays off. In stories and news: «The two fires were unconnected» means one did not cause the other. In maths, unconnected dots or points have no line between them.

### Examples

- The bulb did not light because one wire was unconnected. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/unconnected/#x1)

### Note

Takes «an». Often «unconnected to» or «unconnected with». Opposite: connected, linked, related. In a circuit, a single unconnected wire means no current flows at all.
