The path along which electric current flows is called a circuit.8. A closed circuit cannot have any gaps or breaks to keep the current moving.9. A circuit with gaps is called an open circuit.10. In a series circuit, electric current flows in the same direction along a single path.11. In a parallel circuit, electric current flows through more than one path.
