Basics of Electric Circuit

• A closed loop through which current can flow is called


an electric circuit.
• For a continuous flow of electrons, there must be a
complete circuit with no gaps.
• A gap is usually provided by an electric switch that can
be opened or closed to either cut off or allow energy to
flow.
