Let $n \ge 2$, and $V$ be an affine algebraic set in $\mathbb C^n$ and $W$ be an irreducible affine algebraic set in $\mathbb C^n$, with $V \subsetneq W$ ; then is it true that $W \setminus V$ is connected in the Euclidean topology of $\mathbb C^n $ ? Is it path connected in the Euclidean topology ?
I can see that $W \setminus V$ is connected in the Zariski topology of $\mathbb C^n$, but I can't figure out in the Euclidean topology.
