2. An electric circuit is a closed path in whichcurrent flows.
In general ,a circuit has the followingcomponents:-(1.)A source of
electric current such as a batteryof one or more
cells.(2.)Connecting wires which are normallyinsulated copper
wires.(3.)An appliance which is using the current ,fore.g. a bulb
or an electric iron.(4.)A key which is a switch. 3. When you switch
on an electrictorch the bulb glows and gives offlight. The bulb
glows because, whenyou press the torch. The switch,electric current
flows from thebattery in the torch to the bulbthrough conducting
metal strips inthe conducting strips provide aclosed path for the
current to flow. 4. IItt iiss aa eelleeccttrriicc cciirrccuuiitt
