In simple terms: a battery powers a circuit so, if you have a flashlight, it will turn on. Without the battery it would be a dead circuit.

Circuits consisting of just one battery and one load resistance are very simple to analyze, and they are often found in practical applications such as flashlights and electric bells.

More often, in practice, circuits have more than two components connected together.

An electric circuit is an electrical device connected so that it provides one or more complete paths for the movement of charges. There is a closed-loop path for electrons to follow.

If the path is not complete (an open circuit) there is no charge low, and therefore no current can flow.
