Electricity flows where there is a potential difference and some means of discharging that difference. A circuit is the loop of the thing causing the potential difference and the components that allow it to discharge. What seems to be confusing you is that the power source isn't always included in a circuit diagram.
If you think in terms of a lighting circuit, the light comes on when the switch is closed. The part of the circuit inside your house only has the mains supply, some power switchgear, the light switch and the light. However, the circuit continues back through the supply cables to the generating station. Break the circuit at any point, in your house, under the street or a wire in the generator, and out goes the light.

How many paths in a series circuit?
There is only one path in a series circuit because the current flows through only a single path.
When electricity has more than one path to travel to circuit is called?
branches
How many paths through which charge can flow be shown in a circuit diagram of a series circuit?
Only one path
What is a circuit with two or more pathways?
Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.
What a circuit is called with more than one path through which electrons can flow?
The alternate paths are said to be "in parallel" (with one another).
An electrical circuit in which the electricity only has one path to follow is called?
series circuit
A circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow through?
A series circuit has only one path for current flow.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current can follow only one path?
It is called a series circuit.
What circuit has only one path to take?
In a series circuit, the current has only one path to take.
What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
A path that allows only one route for a current is called a?
series circuit
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
A path that allows only one route for an electric current is called a?
series circuit
What is a circuit with only one path for the electrons?
it is a seriues circuit
A path created for a current that allows only one route for the current is called?
Series circuit.
Series circuit is a circuit that has only one path for volage flow?
No, that is a paralel circuit. a series circuit has two paths
