The amount of electric potential energy per unit of charge that would be possessed by a charged object if placed within an electric field at a given location.

That path might be called a circuit. If the path is complete, it's a closed circuit.
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
Generally a circuit breaker (like a light switch) But I guess you could use a resistor of the right resistance If you are talking about the circuit breaker there is an electromagnetic coil in it which get magnetized on a specific amount of current and breaks the circuit
In a lighting circuit an open circuit will turn off the light.
In a circuit, the purpose of a switch is to control the current flow to the load by opening the circuit (off) or closing the circuit (on). When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.

When a electro magnet is formed
That path might be called a circuit. If the path is complete, it's a closed circuit.
As the circuit collects moisture and dirt leakage path are formed around the paths causing eventual circuit failures
An electromagnet if formed by pushing current through a coil. If the circuit is truly open, current will cease to flow, thus no electromagnet.
monolithic integrated circuit
The image shows the first integrated circuit. It was handmade by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958 using a bar of germanium in which he formed transistors and resistors by diffusion then wired these components into a circuit by hand.
There is a complete path for the electricity to flow. The opposite of an open circuit. If a light switch is on and the light comes on, the circuit is closed. If the switch is turned off, the light goes off because the circuit is open.
