Open and Closed Circuit

Look around your house. How many appliances do you see? How many are currently plugged into your wall outlets? Most households have several devices that make use of electricity. The number of appliances that you have at home shows how important electricity is in our everyday lives.

How does electricity flow to your appliances? Two conditions must be met in order for electricity to flow: first, there must be a source of electricity; second there must be a complete path for the electricity to flow through

The picture shows an electrical circuit which has four parts: a source, light bulb, wires, and switch

An open circuit is one where the continuity has been broken by an interruption in the path for current to flow.

Closed circuit means a complete electrical connection around which current flows or circulates.
