When a lightning strike occurs, it has closed it's circuit, much like a light switch. Once the contacts in the light switch get close enough to cause current to flow, an arc occurs, all the way until actual contact is made. I maintain that the path of a lightning strike is preprogrammed, just before the actual strike occurs. The ground potential and the charge in the skies potential, feel each other and build up the power/potential to reach each other on the established sensed path. An actual strike occurs by part of the strike rising from the ground and the other part of the strike coming out of the sky, the meeting of the two culminating in the clap/boom noise heard when they meet. The lightning is a closed circuit as soon as the potential meeting of both ground and sky charges are sensed and before the actual strike appears in the sky.

How is a circuit diagram related to a closed circuit?
A circuit diagram is a visual representation of an electrical circuit using symbols to show components and connections. In a closed circuit, the electrical current can flow continuously through a complete path without interruption. The circuit diagram helps to understand how the components in a closed circuit are connected and how the current flows.
Is series circuit open or closed?
open 2nd answer: The meaning of circuit means ' a closed loop', whether it is an electric circuit, a circuit of a race, or the circuit of a traveling judge. So, by definition, the Series Circuit is closed.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
Does a complete circuit have closed and electric current flows?
Yes, a complete circuit has a closed loop for the electric current to flow. A closed circuit allows the flow of electrons from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal, completing the circuit and powering the devices connected.
When a circuit is not closed?
When a circuit is not closed it is not operating.
When is a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is not closed it is not operating.
What is another word for closed circuit?
Another word for closed circuit is a loop.
When a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit?
when a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit
Why does an electric circuit have to be closed for it to work?
yes it does have to be a closed circuit
How does closed circuit work?
A closed circuit works by having electricity flow in a complete circuit or circle or any closed shape.
Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?
if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
How is a circuit diagram related to a closed circuit?
A circuit diagram is a visual representation of an electrical circuit using symbols to show components and connections. In a closed circuit, the electrical current can flow continuously through a complete path without interruption. The circuit diagram helps to understand how the components in a closed circuit are connected and how the current flows.
In an closed circuit will the lights be on or off?
In a closed circuit, the lights will be on, assuming there is a power source connected to the circuit and the switch controlling the lights is turned on. This is because the closed circuit allows the flow of electricity from the power source to the lights, completing the circuit and causing the lights to illuminate.
Every short circuit is always a closed circuit while every closed circuit is not a short circuit?
Long winded but true.
When a circuit has no openings?
The circuit is considered a closed circuit.
Is a closed circuit exactly like a complete circuit?
A closed circuit is a circuit where current can flow because it forms a continuous path, while a complete circuit is a closed circuit that includes all necessary components like a power source, load, and conductive path. So, a closed circuit can be a complete circuit if it has all the necessary components connected together.
