A circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current normally has steady supply of voltage with no broken links. Electrical energy flows to light up a bulb or do similar work. Its status is complete, nothing else is needed.
This is a closed circuit.
Status is operational.
closed
Yes, as long as the unbroken path is a good conductor of electricity.
If you ground the flow of current like the last part of your question states you will not have a complete circuit as the circuit will open on a short circuit. To make a complete circuit operate you need a power source, an overload device to protect the conductors of the circuit, conductors to carry the current and a load across the power source which causes the current to flow in the circuit. Leave any one of these things out and you will not have a complete circuit.
Because a generator extracts energy from whatever is rotating it and passes this (by the electric current it produces) down the circuit to the motor (or light bulb or heater) where it is used. When there is no complete electric circuit, no electricity can flow so no (little) energy is extracted, but when the circuit is closed, electricity does flow and the armature is more difficult to turn.
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.
Yes, as long as the unbroken path is a good conductor of electricity.
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
A continuous unbroken path of electrons is a closed circuit. If there is an opening, then it is an open circuit.

circuit
A closed circuit.
yes
circuit is the complete path of an electric current including the source of electric energy.
An Electric PathA complete path for an electric current to follow is called a closed circuit. Ampere is the SI unit for measuring an electric current.
I guess Electric Circuit....
A closed circuit
That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.
