What kind of a circuit is this?
A closed or complete circuit. The switch is shut so the electricity can flow through the circle
What kind of circuit is this?

What is the difference between these two circuits?
The one on the left is open or incomplete,
The one on the right is closed or complete.
The OPEN one on the left will not work.
The CLOSED one on the right the electricity can travel in the circle and the output device will work.
