Answer:

A continuous and closed path of an electric current is called an electric circuit. An electric circuit consists of electric devices, a source of electricity and wires that are connected with the help of a switch.

Step-by-step explanation:

All switches do the same thing: Connect wires to allow electric current to flow or disconnect wires to stop electric current from flowing. ... With the switch in the closed position, you've connected the wire (and completed the circuit), and current can flow.
