A closed conductive path through which electric current can flow. Circuits combine power sources (batteries, generators), conductors (wires), loads (components that do work — motors, lamps, chips), and control elements (switches, transistors). Complex electronics are built from billions of such circuits etched onto silicon; the simplest demonstrable one is a battery, a wire, and a bulb.
