When energy moves from one place to another
pathway
Ex:conducting wires that connect the to terminals of a battery
open circuit
an open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplete which means there is no flow of current
closed circuit
A closed circuit is a circuit in which the path is complete and there is a flow of current in the entire path
switch
