Question: What does an Electric Circuit mean?
Answer: An electric circuit is a closed conducting path containing a source of potential difference or electric energy (i.e. a cell or battery) and a device or element utilizing the electric energy.
For Example, An electric bulb or lamp connected with a cell with the help of connecting wires forms a simple electric circuit. In this circuit, a cell is a source of electric energy and an electric bulb is a load.
There are two types of Circuit
1. Open Electric Circuit: An electric circuit through which no electric current flows is known as an open circuit
2. Close Electric Circuit: An electric circuit through which electric current flows continuously is known as a closed circuit
