Open and Closed Circuit Explanation

Question

What do you understand by open and closed circuits.

Answer

A closed circuit is a complete and continuous path for electric current to flow from the source (such as a battery or power supply) through various components (like resistors, capacitors, and wires) and back to the source.
An open circuit, on the other hand, is an incomplete or interrupted path for electric current. In an open circuit, there is a gap or break in the electrical pathway that prevents the flow of current.
