What is an electric circuit?

  1. A break in which electrons can flow

  2. A continuous path in which electrons can flow

  3. A one-way path for electron flow

  4. A path only for alternating current

The correct answer is: A continuous path in which electrons can flow

An electric circuit is a complete path through which an electric current can flow. Choice A is incorrect because a circuit is not a break, but rather a connected pathway for electrons to follow. Choice C is incorrect because a circuit can allow electrons to flow in both directions, not just one. Choice D is incorrect because a circuit can carry both alternating current and direct current. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
