Question

What is meant by an electric circuit? Draw a circuit consisting
of a cell, a torch bulb and connecting wires. What name is given
to the electric circuit-
(a) in which there is a gap?
(b) in which there is no gap?
​

Answer 1

EXPLANATION: a) The electric circuit in which there is a gap in the connections between the terminals of the cell, wires and the bulb, etc is called an open circuit (or incomplete circuit). Electricity does not flow through an open circuit because there is a gap in its path.
