What term describes a circuit with flowing current in it?

Closed
Open
Static
Interrupted

The correct answer is: Closed

The term that describes a circuit with flowing current is "closed." In a closed circuit, all components are connected in such a way that electrical current can flow freely through the path. This means that there are no breaks or interruptions in the circuit, allowing the electrical energy to move from the power source through the various components, such as resistors, capacitors, or lights, and back to the source. In contrast, an open circuit is one where there is an interruption in the path, which prevents current from flowing. Static refers to a situation where charge is not moving, and interrupted would describe a circuit that has been broken in some way. Both of these terms indicate a lack of current flow, highlighting the significance of the closed circuit in allowing electrical activity.
