WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
An electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical compounents, consisting of a load, source, switch conductors.

A closed circuit makes electrical current flow possible. It may also be an open circuit where the electron flow is cut short because the path is broken. An open circuit does not allow electrical current to flow.
Operation of the simple circuit
the operation of the simple circuit, is pretty simple. electricity is basically the flow of electrons, and these electrons need a path to run/ flow
It must be realized that continuity is just as important in a circuit as it is in a straight piece of wire. Just as in the example with the straight piece of wire between the electron Source and Destination, any break in this circuit will prevent electrons from flowing through it:
An important principle to realize here is that it doesn’t matter where the break occurs. Any discontinuity in the circuit will prevent electron flow throughout the entire circuit. Unless there is a continuous, unbroken loop of conductive material for electrons to flow through, a sustained flow simply cannot be maintained.
- REVIEW:
- A circuit is an unbroken loop of conductive material that allows electrons to flow through continuously without beginning or end.
- If a circuit is “broken,” that means its conductive elements no longer form a complete path, and continuous electron flow cannot occur in it.
- The location of a break in a circuit is irrelevant to its inability to sustain continuous electron flow. Anybreak, anywhere in a circuit prevents electron flow throughout the circuit.

It is important to follow the same systematic approach used for other occupational health and safety issues, when dealing with electrical safety. No one could overstate the importance of Electrical Safety knowledge. It is imperative to know how to work safely with or within the vicinity of electricity because electrical current in regular businesses and homes have enough power that if exposed to, can be fatal.
