A circuit is complete whenever current can flow from the battery (or what is producing current), through the circuit, and back to the battery. A complete circuit could contain just a battery and one wire. An incomplete circuit could be a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal, because current cannot flow all the way through the circuit in this case (i.e. cannot flow through the battery).

note: not all elements in a circuit may have current flow in a complete circuit. For instance, a light bulb may be shorted but you still have a complete circuit.

What is an electrical path that is not complete?

An electrical path that is not complete is called an open circuit. In an open circuit, there is a break in the path that prevents the flow of electricity, so the circuit is not complete and devices connected to it will not function.

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.

What happens when the circuit is complete and the switches are closed?

*Look at the simple circuit illustrated in Figure A-2. What will happen when only switch S1 is closed? Correct Answer= "Nothing will happen-the light bulb won't light up." <<>> If there is a load in the circuit the load will operate. If there is no load in the circuit and it is complete then a short circuit will occur and something in the circuit will burn open. If the circuit is complete and there is a fuse or breaker in the circuit, then the fuse or breaker will open the circuit.
