How does a electric circuit works

An electric circuit works by providing a closed loop to allow current to flow through a system. Electrons must be able to flow throughout the circuit, completing a path from one pole of the power source to the other. Along the way, this flow of electrons can be used to power lights or other electrical devices.

An electric circuit is like a pathway made of wires that electrons can flow through. A battery or other power source gives the force (voltage) that makes the electrons move. When the electrons get to a device like a light bulb, your computer, or a refrigerator, they give it the power to make it work.
