ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

An electric circuit consists of a power source, connecting wires or conductors, and a device that uses the electrical energy. The device that uses the energy is called the load. For current to flow in an electric circuit, there must be a complete path from the negative terminal of the power source, through the connecting wires and load, back to the positive terminal of the source. If a complete path does not exist, no current will flow, and the circuit is called an open circuit.A conductor, such as wire, through which electric current flows. Also the path electric current takes from the power source to the device using the power and then back to the source.
