Everything that goes on in an electrical circuit happens in response to a

flow of electrical current. Electrons are the carriers of electrical charge

whose motion constitutes the electrical current in the circuit.

What is a electrical circuit?

An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd

Why does an electric circuit that operates correctly need to be closed circuit?

In order to have the electricity or the flow or electrons going around the circuit, the circuit must be closed. If it is not closed then electrons cannot flow.
